  Mr. BAIRD. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor the distinguished 
career of Vice Admiral Sean Buck and to congratulate him on a well-
earned retirement.
  For over 40 years, this Hoosier has served his country in the United 
States Navy, quickly earning a sterling reputation as he rose in the 
ranks.
  As a flag officer, VADM Buck held a series of vital command and staff 
positions, each demonstrating his exceptional leadership skills and 
strategic acumen. As commander of the U.S. Naval Forces Southern 
Command/U.S. 4th Fleet, VADM Buck demonstrated his exceptional 
operational skills, and his steadfast commitment to mission success and 
the well-being of his fellow service members has left an indelible 
mark.
  In the four years that VADM Buck has served as the 63rd 
Superintendent of the U.S. Naval Academy, he has played a vital role in 
shaping the minds of future leaders, fostering a spirit of excellence 
and sense of duty in the next generation of naval officers.
  As VADM Buck begins this new chapter in his life, I'd like to 
congratulate him on an exemplary career and thank him for his 
invaluable contributions to the U.S. Navy and our national defense. 
Fair winds and following seas in all your endeavors, Vice Admiral.
