                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 21, 2019

  Mr. BALDERSON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor the 
professional achievements of a fellow Zanesville High School graduate, 
Vice Admiral Albert (Bert) Calland, III.
  Vice Admiral Calland is being commemorated in our hometown for his 
tremendous career, which has spanned many decades, and forms the model 
life of a selfless calling to public service in defense of this 
country. From the United States Navy to SEAL Team ONE, from the Central 
Intelligence Agency and the National Counterterrorism Center to CACI 
International, Inc., Admiral Calland has always displayed the 
dedication of a consummate man of service.
  After graduating from the United States Naval Academy in 1974, 
Admiral Calland distinguished himself in the ranks of the U.S. Navy and 
Special Operations Command, gaining the respect of juniors, peers, and 
superior officers alike. His impressive qualities of hard work and 
strategic problem-solving helped Admiral Calland advance in his field. 
By the time of the terrorist attacks that devastated our nation on 
September 11, 2001, Admiral Calland was a key guiding force in the 
United States' fight against those who seek to do us harm.
  As our hometown gathers to recognize this ardent patriot, I salute 
him for his ongoing service above self. Admiral Calland can take great 
pride in all he has accomplished and in the impact his legacy will 
leave. I thank Vice Admiral Calland for bringing honor to Zanesville, 
Ohio, and in turn, I honor him for his incredible record of 
achievement.
