                      Tuesday, September 16, 2014

  Mr. CARTWRIGHT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Mr. John 
Heuberger, who will retire on Friday, October 3, 2014 from his position 
as the Deputy Commander of DLA Distribution in Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania.
  Mr. Heuberger is a Vietnam Era Veteran, having served in the United 
States Navy from 1971-1974 as a Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class. He later 
spent three years in the Naval Reserve and began his career as a 
federal employee, where he continued to proudly serve our country.
  As a federal employee, Mr. Heuberger worked at a wide range of 
facilities across New York and Pennsylvania. His assignments included 
the Veterans Administration Extended Care Center in St. Albans, New 
York, the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York, 
the Veterans Administration Center in Northport, New York, and as a 
General Supply Officer at Tobyhanna Army Depot in Tobyhanna, 
Pennsylvania.
  Since 1992, Mr. Heuberger has served as Distribution Facilities 
Manager, DLA Distribution at Tobyhanna Army Depot.
  Mr. Heuberger is the recipient of the Army Award for Civilian 
Service, the Department of the Army Certificate of Appreciation, 
numerous other awards, and has been honored by Vice-President Al Gore 
with the National Partnership for Reinventing Government Award.
  Mr. Heuberger is a role model in the workplace--truly an individual 
other federal employees should seek to emulate. His hard work and 
dedication to all facets of our making our military the best it can be 
are overly commendable. During his Tobyhanna years, he drew on past 
experiences and relationships to hone his leadership skills, 
consistently sought to promote positive thinking, and provided 
invaluable guidance to his colleagues and fellow employees. The role 
Mr. Heuberger played in his years of service at DLA is an integral part 
of the critical mission to supply and equip our military. I am honored 
to recognize outstanding individuals engaged in this mission.
  I extend my congratulations to Mr. Heuberger for a job well done in 
service to our nation. The Department of Defense and everyone at 
Tobyhanna will miss him, I'm sure, but I wish him well in retirement.
