                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. LARRY BUCSHON

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 6, 2011

  Mr. BUCSHON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor U.S. Navy Captain 
Charles LaSota.
  Captain LaSota took command at Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center in 
2008 and today is his retirement ceremony.
  I would like to congratulate Captain LaSota for a distinguished 
career. His many achievements in academics and the Navy have made him 
an officer that all sailors and citizens should emulate. His dedication 
to our nation has spanned many decades and many posts and for that I 
would like to thank Captain LaSota.
  At Crane, Captain LaSota not only added more than 800 personnel 
during his command, but he also made sure to give back to the community 
that supports the base through organizations such as the Boy Scouts, 
American Red Cross, Ride to Recovery, and the Crane Learning and 
Employment Center for Veteran's with Disabilities.
