      HONORING THE SERVICE AND EXAMPLE OF CAPTAIN ROBERT E. CLARK

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JOSEPH R. PITTS

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 12, 2007

  Mr. PITTS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Robert E. Clark, a 
decorated Captain in the United States Navy, and native of the 16th 
Congressional District of Pennsylvania.
  At a commencement ceremony later today, Captain Clark will be 
inducted into West Chester East High School's Hall of Fame--a deserving 
honor for a devoted servant of our great Nation. While a student at 
East High School, Clark was a scholar athlete--maintaining excellent 
grades while lettering in football, basketball, and track.
  After graduation, Clark went on to attend the United States Naval 
Academy--the first graduate of West Chester East ever to do so. Since 
graduating from Annapolis, Clark has honorably served his country as an 
officer in the Navy's submarine fleet.
  He has received several personal decorations for his distinguished 
service, including the prestigious Legion of Merit.
  I thank Captain Clark for his selfless service to our Nation, and I 
congratulate him on his well-earned induction into West Chester East's 
Hall of Fame. He has set a fine example for our next generation of 
young leaders to follow.
