                      Wednesday, December 20, 1995

  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Speaker, today I wish to recognize Cmd. Sgt. Maj. 
(Ret.) James Justin Heinzler for serving over 42 years in the Missouri 
Army National Guard. He served from April 22, 1952, to September 11, 
1994.
  Command Sergeant Major (Ret.) Heinzler's most recent service with the 
Missouri Army National Guard was with the 1st Battalion, 128th Field 
Artillery. He served in this position for his last 16 years of service. 
Throughout his career, he has strongly committed himself to all that is 
required. He has gone beyond to provide guidance and support for his 
fellow officers.
  He has received numerous military awards throughout his career. The 
awards are the Army Service Ribbon, the National Defense Service Medal, 
the Army Reserve Components Achievement Medal with silver oak leaf 
cluster, the Armed Forces Reserve Medal with three 10 year devices, and 
the Army Commemoration Medal. He is submitted for the Meritorious 
Service Medal.
  Command Sergeant Major (Ret.) Heinzler has not only provided faithful 
and dedicated service to the Missouri National Guard, but to his 
country as well. I urge my colleagues to join me in congratulating him 
on his service.
