  Mr. BERGMAN. Mr. Speaker, it is my great honor to recognize First 
Sergeant Ryan Dubuque on his retirement from the U.S. Army after 21 
years of service to our Nation. After more than two decades of military 
service, including working to recruit the next generation

of Servicemen at the U.S. Army Recruiting Command, Ryan has become an 
indispensable part of the state of Michigan.
  Receiving his education from Columbia College and Liberty University, 
1SG Dubuque's service has made him a respected leader among 
Michiganders. In addition to his time with Army Recruiting, 1SG Dubuque 
also served multiple tours in Iraq. Choosing to defend our Nation's 
values both at home and abroad, 1SG Dubuque has continually shown his 
desire to lead those around him. His years of service in our Nation's 
military, both in recruitment and in deployment roles, has had a 
lasting effect on the community and his absence from our Armed Services 
will be felt across the state of Michigan.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to recognize First Sergeant Ryan Dubuque 
for his 21 years of service in the U.S. Army. On behalf of Michigan's 
First District, I extend my gratitude to 1SG Dubuque and wish him and 
his family the best in their future endeavors.
