           CELEBRATING THE RETIREMENT OF JAMES PAUL LOOS III

                       Wednesday, March 22, 2023

  Mr. BEAN of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate James 
Paul Loos III for his retirement from a lifetime of public service.
  Born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida, Mr. Loos has dedicated his 
life to serving the great state of Florida and the United States of 
America. At the age of 20, he joined the Florida Air National Guard and 
obtained the rank of Staff Sergeant. However, this was just the 
beginning of his four decades of public service.
  Throughout the last 40 years, Mr. Loos has served in the Florida Air 
National Guard, Clay County Sheriffs Office, Naval Support Activity, 
Department of Navy Police, and the Nassau County Sheriffs Office, where 
he spent 20 of those years.
  At every step of his career, Mr. Loos continually received 
outstanding praise from his superior officers. Nassau County Sheriff 
Bill Leeper described Mr. Loos as having a heart for helping others, 
and he expressed gratitude for his tireless advocacy in keeping 
citizens safe.
  Mr. Loos's commitment to serving his community, state, and country 
should be celebrated, and I am inspired by the example he is setting 
for the next generation of Americans.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me in celebrating a much-
deserved retirement for James Paul Loos III, a true servant and 
patriot.
