  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 70th 
Birthday of COL Daniel ``Larry'' Rubini.
  The 70th birthday of COL Daniel (Larry) Rubini, (U.S. Army Ret.) is 
also a tribute to many years of public and military service, and 
allegiance to the community of veterans.
  COL Rubini was active in military and veterans affairs in Bucks 
County, chairing the Veterans' Advisory Committee, which was launched 
in 2011 to oversee the needs of veterans in the Eighth Congressional 
District.
  It is acknowledged that his leadership and dedication played a role 
in one important congressional objective in this district, that is, a 
focus on increasing veterans' access to medical care, education, job 
training, and employment.
  COL Rubini's legal and military background has been an asset to the 
effectiveness of the Veterans Advisory Committee.
  He has served as a United States Administrative Law Judge in the 
Social Security Administration Office of Hearings and Appeals and as a 
member of the Judge Advocate General's Corps, U.S. Army, retiring with 
the rank of Colonel.
  Twice retired from the U.S. Army Reserve, COL Rubini was recalled to 
serve on the staff of the Hon. Paul Bremer, United States High 
Commissioner for Iraq. He was Senior Advisor to the Iraq Ministry of 
Justice and an integral part of the Coalition Provisional Authority in 
Iraq. Prior to his Middle-East service, he received specialized 
training in civil affair terrorism and the law of war.
  Today, he serves as Administrative Law Judge at the Office of 
Disability Adjudication and Review in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania.
  With sincere gratitude for years of service and heartfelt wishes for 
a very happy birthday--and many more.
