                        Tuesday, April 30, 2019

  Mr. PALLONE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Rear Admiral John 
P. Neagley of Edison, New Jersey, who is retiring from the United 
States Navy this year. Rear Admiral Neagley has dedicated 35 years to 
the Navy and his service is truly deserving of this body's recognition.
  Throughout his distinguished career, Rear Admiral Neagley has upheld 
the principles of duty and valor. He has served at sea extensively and 
was deployed several times. From his service in Operation Desert Fox, 
to his command of USS Fitzgerald (DDG 62) during deployment in support 
of Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom, Rear Admiral Neagley 
has bravely helped maintain the security of our country.
  In addition to his service at sea, Rear Admiral Neagley has held 
various leadership positions in the Office of the Chief of Naval 
Operations and the Littoral Combat Ship Program Office. In his most 
recent assignment as Program Executive Officer, Unmanned and Small 
Combatants, Rear Admiral Neagley was responsible for the Navy's small 
combatant force, mine warfare capabilities and unmanned maritime 
systems. His experience, knowledge and initiative have distinguished 
Rear Admiral Neagley as an outstanding leader who has exemplified 
honor, integrity and professionalism throughout his Navy career.
  Rear Admiral Neagley is a graduate of the University of New Hampshire 
and received his commission from Officer Candidate School in 1984. He 
holds a master's degree in Environmental Management from Duke 
University, a Master of Science degree in Financial Management from the 
Naval Post Graduate School and a Master of Arts degree in National 
Security and Strategic Studies from the Naval Command and Staff 
College.
  Madam Speaker, once again, it is my great honor to pay tribute to 
Rear Admiral John Neagley for his 35 years of service to the United 
States Navy. I sincerely hope that my colleagues will join me in 
thanking Rear Admiral Neagley for his honorable service to our great 
nation.
