                          HON. DANIEL LIPINSKI

                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, June 3, 2013

  Mr. LIPINSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Captain Dan Johnson 
on his installation as Post Commander of the Johnson-Phelps VFW Post 
5220 in Oak Lawn, Illinois. As a decorated veteran, a dedicated 
citizen, and a loyal patriot, Captain Johnson continues to serve his 
community and his tireless dedication deserves our recognition.
   An active member of the United States Army since 1992, Captain 
Johnson has served in Iraq and Afghanistan, as a Platoon Leader and on 
Security Forces Assistance Advisor Teams. He has earned 17 awards, 
including the Army Reserve Components Achievement Medal with 5 Oak Leaf 
Clusters, and the Bronze Star.
   Captain Johnson is a resident of Oak Lawn, Illinois, so I am 
especially proud to have such a committed serviceman from the 3rd 
Congressional District. I am confident that his leadership will be an 
asset to the Johnson-Phelps VFW Post 5220, and thank him for his 
service and commitment to his fellow countrymen.
   Today I stand and ask you to join me in honoring Captain Dan Johnson 
on his new position as Commander of Johnson-Phelps VFW Post 5220.

                          ____________________
