                        Thursday, August 2, 2007

  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, today, I wish to 
congratulate Assistant Solicitor Larry G. Wedekind of Lexington 
County's eleventh Judicial Circuit for being sworn in as a Captain in 
the South Carolina Army National Guard. He will be joining the Judge 
Advocate General Corps.
  Captain Wedekind of Chapin has devoted his career to public service. 
After graduating from The Citadel--The Military College of South 
Carolina, he served 8 years in the U.S. Marine Corps as a 
communications officer and as a surface warfare officer in the U.S. 
Navy. A 1997 graduate of the University of South Carolina's School of 
Law, Captain Wedekind has worked as a lawyer for the Fifth and Eleventh 
Judicial Circuit courts as well as in the office of the Attorney 
General.
  As a soldier and lawyer, Larry remains committed to the citizens of 
his country and his State of South Carolina. He is a true role-model. I 
applaud his tremendous sense of duty. I want to wish him and his wife, 
Angie, all the best in the years to come.
