  Mr. HODES. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the dedicated miltary 
service of retired Colonel Howard Clark, of Enfield, New Hampshire. 
Colonel Clark served his country honorably in the U.S. Army for thirty 
years, including two courageous tours of duty in Vietnam. He was 
awarded the Purple Heart for his bravery overseas, and continued his 
distinguished career in the military, including assignments at the 
Pentagon and as a Brigade Commander at Fort Benning, Georgia. His 
career was recognized with the award of the Legion of Merit for 
sustained superior performance.
  Colonel and Mrs. Howard Clark are also celebrating their 50th Wedding 
Anniversary this summer. Together, Colonel and Mrs. Clark have served 
as a model of commitment, sacrifice, and selfless service to our 
country. It is a privilege to represent these two distinguished 
individuals in the United States Congress.
