                 RECOGNIZING MAJOR DANIEL WAYNE KRUEGER

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. MIKE COFFMAN

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, April 13, 2018

  Mr. COFFMAN. Mr. Speaker, today I recognize Major Daniel Wayne 
Krueger of the United States Army for his extraordinary dedication to 
duty and service to our Nation. Major Krueger will soon transition from 
his current assignment as an Army Congressional Liaison in the House of 
Representatives to attend Army Intermediate Level Education with follow 
on assignment at Fort Carson.
  After growing up as part of an Army family, Dan attended West Point 
and commissioned as an Infantry Officer in 2006. He has held numerous 
leadership and staff assignments in a variety of units, highlighted by 
combat service in Iraq and Afghanistan with the 75th Ranger Regiment 
and again in Afghanistan as a company commander with the 3rd Infantry 
Division. During his time in Washington, Dan also attended Georgetown 
University and worked as an operations officer under the Deputy 
Director of Special Operations.
  In 2017, Major Krueger was selected to serve as a Congressional 
Liaison in the United States Army House Liaison Division. As the 
primary liaison between Members of the House of Representatives, their 
Staffs, Committees, and the Army, he provided insight and understanding 
of Army policies, actions, operations, and requirements. His first-hand 
knowledge of the military, its culture, and traditions has been a 
tremendous benefit to Congressional offices. This previous Christmas, I 
traveled with Dan to Afghanistan, Kuwait, and Jordan to visit our 
Service members and better understand the region. Dan's extensive 
experience in the region enabled a productive visit for myself and 
other Members of Congress. I found him to be a thoughtful, intelligent, 
and dedicated Soldier in the best traditions of America's Armed Forces.
  Mr. Speaker, it has been a pleasure to work with Dan during his time 
as an Army Congressional Liaison Officer in the House of 
Representatives. On behalf of a grateful Nation, it is my honor to 
recognize the selfless service and sacrifice of Major Dan Krueger, his 
wife, Lindsay, and their young son, Luke. I wish them the very best as 
they continue their journey in the United States Army dedicated their 
lives to the service of our Nation.
