  Mr. BERGMAN. Madam Speaker, it is my honor to recognize Commander 
Calvin Jamieson for his years of service to the Garland-Tompkins 
American Legion Post 399. Through his exceptional leadership, steadfast 
devotion, and willingness to serve, Commander Jamieson has become an 
indispensable part of Michigan's First District.
  Born and raised on Old Mission Peninsula, Commander Jamieson has 
served his community and Nation his entire life. After joining the 
United States Army in 1955, he was stationed at Fort Knox in Kentucky. 
Part of an elite Combat Infantry Division, he and his fellow soldiers 
were always ready to answer the call of duty.
  In 1972, Commander Jamieson joined the Garland-Tompkins American 
Legion, and in 1996, he became Post Commander. In this role, he worked 
tirelessly to ensure the successful operation of the Post. From 
building a new Legion Hall, to planning the Post's dinners, to 
coordinating community outreach events, Commander Jamieson has been a 
cornerstone not only of the Post, but also of the Old Mission Peninsula 
Community.
  Madam Speaker, on behalf of Michigan's First Congressional District, 
I ask you to join me in recognizing the service of Commander Calvin 
Jamieson. His life's actions and work have embodied the highest level 
of patriotism and service to his community.
