  Mr. BERGMAN. Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to recognize Commander David 
T. St. Aubin for his 25 years of dedicated service to the United States 
Navy and our Nation. I'd also like to congratulate him on his 
retirement as Commander of Navy Patrol Squadron Four Zero.
  Commander St. Aubin, a Negaunee native, enlisted in the United States 
Navy in 1999 and completed Nuclear Power School and prototype in 2001. 
Commander St. Aubin later graduated from the United States Naval 
Academy in 2005, receiving his Wings of Gold in 2007 upon his 
graduation from flight training. He would later receive his first 
assignment with Patrol Squadron Four Five in Jacksonville, Florida.
  Before joining Patrol Squadron Four Zero, Commander St. Aubin served 
in multiple duty stations all over the globe. He has deployed with the 
Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Fleets as well as the J3 Directorate 
at the Pentagon and the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Finally, in 2021 he was 
selected for command of Patrol Squadron Four Zero.
  Commander St. Aubin has diligently served as the Commanding Officer 
of Patrol Squadron Four Zero for the past two years. Standing by the 
squadron mantra, ``Laging Handa,--Always Ready'', Commander St. Aubin 
proudly served as the 73rd Commander of Squadron VP-40. From his time 
in service, Commander St. Aubin's personal awards include: the Defense 
Meritorious Service Medal, Navy Commendation Medal, Navy Achievement 
Medal, and various unit and campaign awards.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to thank Commander David T. St. Aubin for 
his 25 years of service and for his retirement. I wish the Commander a 
well-deserved retirement and all the best in his future endeavors.
