                         Tuesday, July 28, 2015

  Mr. HECK of Nevada. Mr. Speaker, I come to the floor today to honor 
the life of Mr. Duncan E. Shaw, a Korean War veteran and Chairman 
Emeritus of Devil Pups.
  For more than 60 years, Duncan Shaw dedicated his time and talents to 
Devil Pups, a program started by his father in 1953 to provide 
teenagers with a life-changing opportunity to become better citizens 
and develop mentally, as well as physically, through Marine-inspired 
training.
  Like his father, Duncan Shaw enlisted in the Marine Corps where he 
was assigned to Aviation and achieved the rank of Captain. He deployed 
to the combat zone during the Korean

War and was proud to be given the opportunity to serve his country.
  Following his service, Mr. Shaw got into the food business, 
eventually rising to the position of National Product Manager for the 
Carnation Company.
  And while he was certainly successful in the business world, he will 
long be remembered for the lasting impact he had on the more than 
50,000 teenagers who have completed the Devil Pup program to date.
  As President, Chairman, and Chairman Emeritus of Devil Pups, Duncan 
Shaw was most known for his endless energy in promoting the program and 
giving thousands of hours of his own time to ensure the program's 
continued success.
  Many Devil Pup graduates relate being recipients of a famous ``Duncan 
One-on-One,'' a conversation designed to guide and inspire an aspiring 
Pup.
  Mr. Shaw's daughter Susan says that one of the most valuable lessons 
he taught was to be on time and always give 110%. Duncan Shaw lived 
that lesson throughout his life but most especially through his 
commitment to the Devil Pups.
