  Mr. VAN DREW. Madam Speaker, last month, I had the pleasure of 
attending the Salem Community College Foundation Veterans Dinner. At 
the event, Lester R. Sutton was honored. Lester served our nation in 
the United States Coast Guard and held the rank of Storekeeper Third 
Class. He was awarded with the National Defense Service Medal, First 
Coast Guard Good Conduct Award, Vietnam Service Medal, and Republic of 
Vietnam Campaign Medal during his time serving in the Coast Guard. 
Lester retired from the Coast Guard in 1973 after 8 years of exemplary 
service. I am so proud of Lester for his time in the United States 
Coast Guard, and I want to thank him for his dedication to our great 
nation. God Bless Lester, and God Bless our America.
