  Ms. BLUNT ROCHESTER. Madam Speaker, today I rise to honor the life 
and legacy of Col. Ron Sarg, a Vietnam veteran, a tireless advocate for 
Delaware's Veterans, and a friend.
  Col. Sarg served combat duty in Vietnam and pursued a career in the 
Air Force. After his time in Vietnam and throughout his career, he was 
posted from Turkey to New Mexico. Eventually, he was stationed in 
Dover, Delaware, where he retired from active duty in 1993.
  But Col. Sarg continued to serve his country and community in 
retirement. He helped Delawareans gain rewarding careers as an 
instructor at Polytech Adult Education in Dover and he trained many 
students in the field of dentistry at the University of Pennsylvania.
  Yet, he never forgot his fellow veterans. He spent his retirement 
serving those who heard

the call to duty in our Nation's military. He was a member of the 
Military Officers Association of America and served as Chairman of the 
Delaware Commission of Veterans Affairs, a significant leadership role 
for Veterans in the State of Delaware. In these roles, Col. Sarg pushed 
for national and state-level policies that helped Veterans and active-
duty service members access affordable housing, receive high-quality 
mental health care, and gain opportunities for a good education and 
career.
  To Col. Sarg's family, please accept my heartfelt and sincerest 
condolences. Ron was a true friend and a pillar of our community in the 
First State. He will be greatly missed but not forgotten.
