      HONORING THE CAREER OF COMMAND SERGEANT MAJOR JOHN F. SAMPA

  (Mr. NEHLS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. NEHLS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to pay tribute to the 
distinguished and exceptional career of my friend, Command Sergeant 
Major John F. Sampa, the retiring Command Sergeant Major of the Army 
National Guard.
  It is one of my greatest honors and privilege to have served with 
then-Sergeant John Sampa when I was a lieutenant with Bravo Company 4th 
Battalion 112th Armor, in Rosenberg, Texas. He mentored and advised 
countless soldiers and airmen throughout his career.
  His rise to the highest enlisted rank in the National Guard was not 
by chance. Command Sergeant Major

Sampa is an extremely talented and competent noncommissioned officer 
who led by example, outworked his peers, and always took care of his 
troops.
  Along with the citizens from the great State of Texas, and the Army 
National Guard soldiers throughout the country, I wish Command Sergeant 
Major John Sampa a well-deserved retirement. He has served his 
neighbors, State, and country well.
  I wish John, his wife Carlette; son, John; and daughter, Julia, all 
the best in their future endeavors.
