                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, February 18, 2022

  Mr. KIM of New Jersey. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Staff 
Sergeant Brian C. Darling, who recently retired after nearly three 
decades in the United States Army and the New Jersey Army National 
Guard.
  Brian grew up in Manchester, NJ, and was inspired by his familial 
legacy of service. He decided to carry that torch himself and enlisted 
in the active-duty Army in 1995. Brian was deployed overseas for 
several years as a Paralegal Specialist where he provided legal and 
administrative support to the Army's legal team. Over the course of his 
service, he served tours in Iraq in 2008, Afghanistan in 2010, and 
Qatar from 2014-2015. He spent the past year as an active part of the 
Army's mission to fight COVID-19 and is retiring at the rank of Staff 
Sergeant. Brian's service hasn't ended with his retirement, he 
continues to be a valued schoolteacher in the Central Regional School 
District of Bayville, New Jersey.
  I would like to formally thank Staff Sergeant Darling for his service 
to the United States of America and his continued contributions to our 
community.
