                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, February 27, 2012

  Mr. BUCSHON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to offer my most heartfelt 
congratulations to Commander Paul B. Spohn, United States Navy, for a 
distinguished career. Commander Spohn recently retired as the 
Commanding Officer, Naval Support Activity Crane, one of the many 
command posts throughout his career. I would like to especially 
recognize Commander Spohn for his leadership at NSA Crane, the world's 
third largest Naval Installation, based in Indiana's 8th Congressional 
District.
  Commander Spohn began his 35 year career by enlisting in the Navy as 
a Boiler Technician in January 1977 and received his commission in June 
1990 through the Limited Duty Officer Program.
  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 Commander Spohn.
