                        HONORING MAJOR DAVID HAN

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. FRANK R. WOLF

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 6, 2006

  Mr. WOLF. Mr. Speaker, it is an honor for me to recognize Major David 
Han upon his retirement from the United States Marine Corps after 22 
years of dedicated service. Major Han is a constituent who lives in 
Ashburn, Virginia. He spent 12 years as an enlisted Marine and another 
10 years as an officer, completing assignments across the country, 
including his last assignment in our Nation's capital.
  During Major Han's last 2 years of service in Washington, DC, he has 
been the administration officer in the Marine Corps' Office of 
Legislative Affairs. In this capacity he was able to support members of 
Congress and congressional committees, working on issues related to the 
Marine Corps and national security. During this time, Major Han 
volunteered to deploy to Iraq, serving with II Marine Expeditionary 
Force Forward at Camp Fallujah. While at Camp Fallujah he served as a 
protocol officer, coordinating, planning, and executing over 150 visits 
to USMC units in Iraq by generals, foreign dignitaries, congressional 
delegations, the vice president, and the secretary of defense.
  These assignments are only a small glimpse of Major Han's many 
accomplishments as a Marine. I have no doubt that Major Han has made a 
lasting contribution in the capability of today's Marine Corps and has 
helped to shape the future of the Marines. His performance and 
dedication to duty over his 22-year career has been exemplary. I want 
to take this opportunity to wish him, his wife Cassandra, and two 
daughters, Anna and Madeleine, all the best as he retires from the 
Marine Corps. Semper Fi!
