  Mr. MOONEY of West Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I would like to 
congratulate Brigadier General David T. Buckalew on a successful career 
in the West Virginia National Guard. Brigadier General Buckalew has 
honorably and selflessly served the people of West Virginia for over 44 
years, and will be retiring on August 1, 2015. During those many years, 
Brigadier General Buckalew worked his way up in rank from an enlisted 
Guardsman to the Director of the Joint Staff of the West Virginia 
National Guard, and earned numerous awards and decorations in this time 
as well. We are all grateful for Brigadier General Buckalew's devoted 
service in protection of the freedoms we so enjoy as West Virginians.
  I join with West Virginia National Guard and Brigadier General David 
Buckalew's friends and family in wishing him a happy retirement, and 
thanking him for his service to our state, and country.
