  Mr. TANCREDO. Mr. Speaker, those who serve in our armed forces show 
great dedication to and pride in our country. These people often make 
personal sacrifices during their service to perform their duties. 
Therefore, it is with great pride that I rise today to recognize the 
service of Chief Warrant Officer-4, Jackie Karsten.
  Chief Warrant Officer Karsten retired on May 1st after 30 years of 
service. She later celebrated her retirement at a formal ceremony the 
22nd of May.
  Mr. Speaker, people who show allegiance and devotion to our country 
through military service are remarkable individuals. Jackie is one of 
those individuals. I commend her for her 30 year career with the U.S. 
Navy and wish her all the best in all her future endeavors, and 
throughout her retirement.
