                     HONORING GENERAL ROBERT DUTKO

  (Mr. CONAWAY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CONAWAY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize General Robert 
Dutko, whose impressive career of service in the Air National Guard 
spanned over four decades.
  General Dutko's military career began in 1954 when he enlisted in the 
New Jersey Air National Guard at the McGuire Air Force Base where he 
served with the 141st Fighter Bomber Squadron.
  After returning from Active Duty during the Berlin crisis, he held 
assignments at the Pentagon and was later appointed assistant adjutant 
general of the New Jersey Air National Guard.
  General Dutko was instrumental in the success of the Armed Services 
Heritage Museum, helping to secure the museum's mobile unit and sharing 
the history of the military with countless community members.
  He also shaped how his hometown honored service and sacrifice with 
his role in programs like Hometown Heroes, ensuring that the service of 
Ewing residents would be recognized in a meaningful way.
  Though, we mourn the loss of the general last month, we will be 
celebrating his inspiring legacy and service for many years to come.
