                        Wednesday, July 25, 2018

  Mr. DUNN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Rear Admiral John E. 
Dombroski. Admiral Dombroski passed away July 1, 2018 and left a legacy 
of service to God, country, and family that we all should aspire to 
emulate. The Admiral was raised in Beacon Falls, Connecticut, graduated 
from Trinity College in 1967, and attended Cornell Law School.
  He entered the United States Navy in 1969 and served on the USS Moale 
where he earned qualification as the combat information center officer, 
and subsequently served on USS Luiseno as executive officer. Admiral 
Dombroski served in a variety of posts in the Judge Advocate General's 
Corps, culminating his exceptionally distinguished career as the Chief 
Judge of the Navy-Marine Corps, Court of Criminal Appeals.
  Admiral Dombroski and his wife Julie Ann eventually settled in 
Tallahassee, Florida. He continued to live a life of service as a 
Rotarian and dedicated member of Saint Peter's Anglican Cathedral, 
where he dedicated time to instruct weekly men's bible study classes in 
his home. Loved and cherished by family and friends, highly decorated 
by his nation, and honored by all those with whom he came in contact, 
Rear Admiral John E. Dombroski dedicated his life to the mission of 
leaving this world better than he found it. Admiral Dombroski is 
survived by his wife Julie Ann, their daughter Christine Jecko and her 
husband Sean, and his son Matthew and his wife, Tori. He was a devoted 
grandparent to Ann, Jonathan, and Savannah, and a loving brother to his 
sister, Andrea Redden.
  The Admiral was a giant of a man and his presence will be missed. Mr. 
Speaker, please join me in honoring Rear Admiral John E. Dombroski for 
his life of service to God and man.
