  Mr. BACON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Command Sergeant 
Major Darrold D. DeGunia on his retirement from the United States Army 
Reserve.
  His career began in 1986 after enlisting in the Army from Crawford, 
Nebraska. CSM DeGunia served our country honorably for 34 years, 
culminating in his service as the Command Sergeant Major of the 472nd 
Chemical Battalion in Chicago, Illinois. CSM DeGunia's leadership 
positively impacted the lives of countless servicemembers.
  I am certain that his dedication and achievement will have a lasting 
impact on the Army's ability to fight and win our Nation's wars.
  Upon retirement, CSM DeGunia is recognized for his distinguished 
service and exemplary performance of duty, reflecting the highest 
tradition of the United States of America.
  CSM DeGunia is married to Heather-Lea DeGunia and they have three 
children: Steven, Brittany, and Jacob.
  CSM DeGunia will simultaneously retire from his civilian career as a 
Wage Leader at the Army Reserve Area Maintenance Support Activity 35 in 
Elkhorn, Nebraska, after 23 years.
  Mr. Speaker, I appreciate his commitment to service in the Army and 
his country.
