                         Friday, July 13, 2018

  Mrs. RADEWAGEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to highlight the service of 
Lieutenant Colonel Clinton ``Clint'' Seybold as Commander of the 
American Samoa Detachment upon the occasion of the Change of Command 
Ceremony.
  In American Samoa, our men and women of the Armed Forces are very 
important to us. The people of our islands take great pride in being 
patriotic Americans and our people are known for a high rate of service 
in our military. In particular, our U.S. Army recruiting center ranks 
number one in the nation in enlistment rate.
  Lieutenant Colonel Seybold has deployed in numerous postings from 
Kentucky to Korea, and in 2015, assumed Command of the American Samoa 
Detachment, Theater Support Group, 9th Mission Support Command, Tafuna, 
American Samoa.
  He has an extensive list of military awards and decorations, and is a 
graduate of the prestigious Virginia Military Institute with a Bachelor 
of Arts in History. He also graduated U.S. Army Airborne School, Ranger 
School and Air Assault School, followed by a Master of Arts in U.S. 
History from Eastern Illinois University.
  In honoring this one outstanding officer today, we also express our 
deep appreciation to all who serve, including the many in uniform from 
American Samoa serving with distinction all over the world.
  In American Samoa, we've come to appreciate Clint as one of our own. 
Congratulations to Lieutenant Colonel Seybold, on his next role and the 
great future ahead of him. I thank him and his wife, Wendy, for his 
service and his time on our beautiful Islands.
  God bless and Soifua.
