           HONORING COMMANDER CAROL BOHN, U.S. NAVY, RETIRED

  (Mr. McNERNEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. McNERNEY. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring 
Commander Carol Bohn, U.S. Navy, retired.
  Commander Bohn provided 25 years of outstanding service to our 
country as a commissioned officer in the Navy Nurse Corps and 
continues, in retirement, to provide exceptional service to our 
community and to our men and women in uniform.
  A member of the VFW for approximately 15 years, Commander Bohn now 
serves as chaplain for the VFW Pleasanton Post 6298. She was 
instrumental in leading drives to obtain essential items for our 
Nation's troops, and her efforts have improved the morale of our men 
and women in uniform deployed overseas
  Commander Bohn is also instrumental in organizing Pleasanton's yearly 
Veterans Day Parade, which honors the many sacrifices made by our 
fighting men and women. Through Commander Bohn's tireless efforts, the 
people of Pleasanton and the 11th Congressional District are assured 
that our veterans will not be forgotten.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing this outstanding 
citizen and leader.
