     HONORING THE RETIREMENT OF LIEUTENANT COLONEL MATTHEW A. LAMB

  (Mr. BOST asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BOST. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Lieutenant Colonel 
Matthew A. Lamb, United States Marine Corps, a native of Connersville, 
Indiana, who is retiring after more than 25 years of faithful service 
to our Nation.
  Lieutenant Colonel Lamb enlisted in the Marine Corps Reserve in May 
of 2000 as a field radio operator and deployed with the 5th Battalion, 
11th Marines during Operation Iraqi Freedom, earning the Combat Action 
Ribbon.
  He commissioned in May of 2006 as an adjutant and later deployed to 
Kabul, Afghanistan, as a G-1 mentor to the 201st Corps of the 
Afghanistan National Army.
  Over the two decades, he commanded a recruit training company at MCRD 
San Diego and served in key staff billets at MCRD Paris Island, 
Headquarters Marine Corps, and the United States Marine Corps Forces 
South.
  He is a distinguished graduate of the Marine Corps Command and Staff 
College and holds a degree from the University of Indianapolis and 
Syracuse University.
  His final tour brought him to Capitol Hill as deputy director for 
House Affairs in the Marine Corps Office of Legislative Affairs, where 
he served as the Corps' principal interlocutor for the House Committee 
on Veterans' Affairs. I had the privilege of working with him directly.
  I wish him well in his retirement, and I thank him for his service. 
Semper Fidelis.
