                       Tuesday, November 29, 2022

  Mr. VAN DREW. Madam Speaker, last month, I had the pleasure of 
attending the Salem Community College Foundation Veterans Dinner. At 
the event, Paul E. Hopkins, Jr. was honored for his service to our 
country in the United States Navy from May of 1969 to January of 1971. 
He earned the rank of Quarter Master 3rd class during his time in the 
Navy. Paul was decorated with three noteworthy medals including the 
National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Service Medal, and Vietnam 
Campaign Medal. He should be very proud of his selfless devotion to the 
United States Navy, and I want to thank him sincerely for his service 
to our great nation, God Bless Paul, and God Bless our United States of 
America.
