              HONORING DAVID WAYNE ROMICK FOR HIS SERVICE

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. RAUL M. GRIJALVA

                               of arizona

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, March 16, 2010

  Mr. GRIJALVA. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize a constituent 
from Tucson, Arizona.
  David Wayne Romick joined the U.S. Army on October 20, 1963, and was 
discharged on June 22, 1966. When discharged, he was awarded the Army's 
Good Conduct Medal (AGCM), but never received the award for his 
honorable service during the Vietnam War.
  After waiting 44 years, David contacted my Tucson District office in 
December of last year for help in getting this award. At my urging, the 
U.S. Army reviewed David's records and concluded that he was not 
presented with the AGCM as per his DD-214. The Army admitted its error 
and on Friday, March 12, 2010, I had the honor and privilege of 
presenting this long overdue honor to David Romick.
  Madam Speaker, I want to thank Mr. Romick for his service to our 
country and the U.S. Army for correcting this error.
