the U.S. Army War College. He married Carmen Harder, also from Colfax, 
and have two daughters, Kendall, and Paige.
  After graduating in 1993, Captain Langum's career began with his

He later served as the Aids to Navigation Officer for the Greater 
Antilles Section of San Juan, PR. Additionally, Captain Langum served
