            CITATION FOR COLONEL EDGAR J. YANGER, U.S. ARMY

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. MADELEINE Z. BORDALLO

                                of guam

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 8, 2003

  Ms. BORDALLO. Mr. Speaker, this citation is presented to Lieutenant 
Colonel Edgar J. Yanger of Mangilao for his promotion to the rank of 
Colonel in the United States Army.
  Colonel Yanger is the son of Felizardo Galon Yanger and Cecilia 
Taitano Yanger of Mangilao. He is married to the former Doris San 
Nicholas Guerrero, daughter of Jesus Calvo Guerrero and Candelaria San 
Nicholas Guerrero of Sinajana. Edgar and Doris have two children, 
Melina and Edgar Jonathan.
  Colonel Yanger has accomplished much over the past years. He is a 
graduate of Guam Vocational Technical High School and the University of 
Hawaii at Manoa where he earned a Bachelor's and Master's degree in 
architecture. He received his commission in the Army as an engineer 
through the Reserve Officer Training Corps. He went on to graduate from 
the Army Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, KS, and 
from the U.S. Army Engineer Officer Basic and Advance Courses at Fort 
Belvoir, VA.
  Currently, Colonel Yanger is a program manager in the Army's Base 
Realignment and Closure Division at the Pentagon. He will soon be 
leaving for duty in Korea, where I am certain that he will continue to 
serve with the same dedication and commitment that has defined his 
career.
  The people of Guam share the pride that the Yanger family has in the 
distinguished service and leadership of Colonel Yanger. He exemplifies 
the courage, strength and determination that defines the Chamorro 
people. He is a role model for the men and women who serve in the Armed 
Forces. We commend him for his leadership and look forward to his 
continued success.
  On behalf of the people of Guam, I want to congratulate Colonel Edgar 
J. Yanger and his family on his many accomplishments, and extend our 
gratitude for his dedicated service to our island and our country.
