  Mr. FALLON. Madam Speaker, I am honored and privileged to award Chief 
Petty Officer John Turner Jr. with a Congressional Veteran 
Commendation. His service and sacrifice through the United States Navy 
exemplify his national pride and embodiment as a role-model citizen to 
serve the country he loves. Chief Petty Officer Turner is truly an 
ideal candidate to receive the Congressional Veteran Commendation.
  Chief Petty Officer Turner served in the Navy as a Cryptologic 
Technician Technical. With such a talented mind in intelligence and 
cryptology, Chief Petty Officer Turner assisted with airborne, 
shipborne, and land-based radar signals.
  Chief Petty Officer Turner's tenure in the military consisted of time 
aboard submarines and surface ships in many locations across the world. 
From Guam, Germany, Japan, and across many stops from sea to shining 
sea across America, Chief Petty Officer Turner served with no complaint 
wherever he was deployed.
  Chief Petty Officer Turner used his impressive skill set in operating 
electronic intelligence-receiving and direction-finding systems, 
digital recording devices, and analysis terminals. American 
intelligence is the best in the world because of brilliant patriots 
like Chief Petty Officer Turner.
  Since his retirement from the military, Chief Petty Officer Turner 
has been an active member in the community with active involvement as a 
Commander in Hunt County Chapter 81 Disabled American Veterans, as a 
councilman on the Greenville City Council, and as a service officer 
connecting veteran families to benefits they earned.
  I am beyond honored to have Chief Petty Officer Turner in Texas' 4th 
Congressional District and am privileged to award such a distinguished 
citizen for his sacrifices.
