congratulations to United States Marshal James L. Whigham and the 
honorable men and women of the Northern District of Illinois' United 
States Marshals Service.

and I commend their dedication and commitment to their service.
  It is a great achievement and honor to be distinguished among the 
other United States Marshals Service districts. This honor has truly 
shown the strong leadership and exemplary performance of the United 
States Marshals in the Northern District of Illinois.

luck in their future service to our community.
