“I rise today to honor Navy Petty Officer First Class Duane B. Pearson. HM1 Duane Pearson originally hailed from the Bronx, NY, and as an Army family, he moved throughout the Nation; in Lawton, OK, he decided to enlist in the U.S. Navy and follow his family history of military service. His initial oath was in November 2001 in Oklahoma City, OK; he completed Navy boot camp and Hospital Corps School in Great Lakes, IL, and went on to Expeditionary Medical Facility Training, Cherry Point, NC, and Physical Therapy Technician School, San Antonio, TX, where he was also promoted to third class petty officer. His enlisted assignments include Naval Hospital Cherry Point, NC; National Naval Medical Center Bethesda, MD, where he was deployed to Camp Lemonnier to Djibouti, Africa; Naval Hospital Yokosuka, Japan; and the Office of Attending Physician, Washington, DC. While at the Office of Attending Physician, he continued providing expert physical therapy services, but also managed an emergency response medical call center, and provided advanced cardiac life support response to multiple Nation special security events, including three Presidential inaugurations, nine State of the Union Addresses, seven Peace Officers Memorials, and scores of gold medal ceremonies and summer concerts.
