                  REMEMBERING CAPTAIN MARSHALL HANSON

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize 
retired Captain Marshall Hanson, United States Navy, who suddenly 
passed away last week at the age of 63.
  I worked closely with Captain Hanson in his role as the director of 
legislation and military policy at the Reserve Officers Association. I 
know that so many of his friends and colleagues share my sentiments 
when I say that we have lost a tireless advocate of America's 
Reservists and the men and women who serve in uniform.
  Captain Hanson was born in Darby, Pennsylvania, and raised in Glen 
Rock, New Jersey, and Seattle, Washington. A 1972 graduate of the 
University of Washington, he was commissioned through Naval ROTC. 
Later, he earned an MBA from the University of Washington and graduated 
with distinction from the Naval War College.
  Captain Hanson served 3 years in Active Duty and 27 years in the 
Naval Reserve, retiring in August 2002, before continuing his service 
to those in uniform through his advocacy on Capitol Hill.
  I offer my thoughts and prayers to Captain Hanson's family and loved 
ones. May he rest in peace.
