  Mr. WITTMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the 
Honorable Craig D. Johnston on his retirement from a career in public 
service.
  Craig received his bachelor's degree from Dickinson College before 
serving as an infantry officer during the Vietnam War. After returning 
home, Craig earned a law degree from the University of Virginia. He 
practiced law in Manassas for 30 years where he was a board member and 
past president of the Prince William County Bar Association. 
Additionally, he represented Prince William County on the Virginia 
State Bar Council for two terms.
  In 2004, Craig was appointed as a judge of the Prince William General 
District Court of the 31st Judicial District of Virginia. In 
recognition of his leadership and knowledge, Craig was appointed to the 
Prince William Circuit Court of the 31st Judicial Circuit of Virginia 
in 2009. Craig was selected to serve as chief judge of both the Prince 
William General District Court and the Prince William Circuit Court.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in thanking the Honorable Craig Johnston 
for his service to Virginia. I wish Craig and his wife, Joyce, the best 
as they spend more time with their children and grandchildren in 
retirement.
