                   HONORING MAJOR GENERAL DALE LYLES

  (Mrs. HOUCHIN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. HOUCHIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor an exceptional 
leader, dedicated public servant, and my dear friend, Major General 
Dale Lyles, adjutant general of the Indiana National Guard.
  General Lyles' journey of service began when he enlisted in the 
Indiana Army National Guard in 1986. Over the years, he has 
demonstrated dedication and leadership in every role.
  His services included key positions, such as commander of the 219th 
Engineer Brigade and chief of staff for the Indiana National Guard 
where he oversaw operations and strategic initiatives.
  In 2019, General Lyles was appointed adjutant general of the Indiana 
National Guard by our Governor, Eric Holcomb. Since then, he has led 
efforts to modernize the force, ensuring Indiana's National Guard is 
prepared to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow.
  Under his leadership, the Guard has excelled in responding to 
national disasters, deploying overseas in defense of our freedoms, and 
serving our communities in times of crisis. His unwavering commitment 
to the well-being of his soldiers and their families has had a lasting 
impact in Indiana and beyond.
  As he retires from nearly 40 years of service to the United States, 
it is my honor to recognize Major General Dale Lyles for his 
outstanding service and dedication to a grateful State and Nation.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf Indiana's Ninth District and a grateful 
country, I thank General Lyles for his years of sacrifice and 
dedication to America.
