                TRIBUTE TO MASTER SERGEANT DAN CALDARALE

                                  _____
                                 

                            HON. JON RUNYAN

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 17, 2011

  Mr. RUNYAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Master Sergeant Dan 
Caldarale and recognize his safe return home on Sunday, March 20, 2011 
from his tour in the Middle East.
  Dan began his career in the Army National Guard in the summer of 1981 
at basic training in Ft. Benning, Georgia. During his 30 years of 
service to our country, he served as both active duty and Army Reserve. 
Currently, Dan is an Inspector General Investigator with the Army 
National Guard.
  In addition to his career as a Master Sergeant, Dan has served as a 
local patrolman and crash investigator for over 16 years. He graduated 
from the Police Academy in 1995 and has served as a member of the North 
Hanover Township Police Department since May of 2007. Through both his 
national and local positions, it is clear that public service is a top 
priority in Dan's life and one that he values deeply.
  Today I join Dan's friends and family, and most notably his wife 
Erica, a former Army National Guard Soldier of 13 years, and their 
sons, Matthew and Ryan, in welcoming home this great American hero. The 
United States of America is truly a safer place because of Dan's 
dedicated and honorable service.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that you and our colleagues join me in recognizing 
Master Sergeant Dan Caldarale and offering our sincerest appreciation 
for his successful tour of duty and his safe return home.
