  Mr. MEUSER. Madam Speaker, it is with great respect and honor that I

service to our Commonwealth and nation. Mr. Desrosiers was born in 
Naugatuck, Connecticut and enlisted in the U.S. Air Force shortly after 
graduating from high school. During his four years of service, Mr. 
Desrosiers served as a law enforcement specialist in countries around 
the world, including in Japan and the Philippines, earning both the 
Good Conduct Medal and the National Defense Service Medal.
  After serving our country, Mr. Desrosiers returned home to serve and 
protect his community as a police officer for over 25 years, being 
promoted to sergeant before his retirement in 2003. Furthering his 
dedication to serve, Mr. Desrosiers joined Carbon County as the 
Director of Veterans' Affairs in 2008. Following a decade of dutiful 
service to Carbon County's veterans, Mr. Desrosiers will retire later 
this year.
  On behalf of the U.S. House of Representatives and the citizens of 
Pennsylvania's Ninth Congressional District, I ask my colleagues to 
join me in congratulating Mr. Desrosiers on his retirement and thank 
him for his many years of brave and honorable service.
