                        Wednesday, June 15, 2022

  Mr. PAPPAS. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Sage 
Ladieu, who is being honored for his retirement from the military. Sage 
first answered the call to service in 1992, when he enlisted in the 
U.S. Navy as an aviation firefighter in California. Over the next 29 
years, he moved up the ranks and most recently served as Command 
Sergeant Major for the 54th troop Command Brigade, providing guidance 
on the training, development, standards, traditions, discipline and 
welfare of the enlisted soldiers. Throughout his various roles in New 
Hampshire, across the country, and overseas, Sage had a profound impact 
on the lives of countless others.
  Prior to his work as Command Sergeant Major for the 54th troop, Sage 
served as a Senior Enlisted Leader for both the 195th Regiment and the 
New Hampshire Army National Guard Recruiting and Retention Battalion. 
His responsibilities included supervising and mentoring staff, 
instructors, and recruiters in the implementation of focused and 
effective programs.
  Despite being deployed to Saudi Arabia in 1993 and Iraq in 2004, Sage 
never wavered in his commitment to bettering Granite State communities. 
He worked to connect with younger generations as a Noncommissioned 
Recruiting Officer and a Professor of Military Science at the 
University of New Hampshire ROTC. He has continuously served as a 
supervisor, recruiter, mentor, and friend to so many in the community. 
Sage has worked tirelessly for his state and country and has rightfully 
earned numerous service medals and commendations.,
  On behalf of my constituents in New Hampshire's First Congressional 
District, I want to thank Sage for his dedication and wish him the best 
in his well-deserved retirement. I congratulate him again on his 
incredible career, and I thank him for all that he has done to keep our 
country safe.
