Promoted to his current rank of Lieutenant Commander in June of 2008, 
it is evident that Lieutenant Commander Lee has truly committed himself

Campaign ribbons and medals. He was promoted to the rank of E 8 (SCPO) 
in February of 1998, as a result of his selecting for the Limited Duty 
Officer Commissioning Program. After that, he worked his way up to the 
rank of Lieutenant Commander
  Lieutenant Commander Lee's long and impressive career showcases his 
commitment and service to not only his local community but also to the 
Nation. Mr. Speaker, I ask that you and my other distinguished
