  Mr. CRAMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the members of 
the Redstone-Huntsville Chapter of the Association of the U.S. Army for 
being named for the second year in a row the ``Best Overall'' AUSA 
Chapter in the country.
  AUSA is dedicated to supporting the United States Army and 
maintaining a strong national defense. AUSA achieves its goals by 
supporting the needs and interests of soldiers, retirees, and family 
members.
  As the home of Redstone Arsenal, the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile 
Command, and numerous defense partners, north Alabama has earned an 
excellent reputation for its role protecting the warfighter and 
defending our national security.
  The Redstone-Huntsville Chapter of AUSA, which was founded in 1959, 
has been a strong advocate and voice for north Alabama's warfighters. 
All of us in north Alabama are very proud of the hard work and 
commitment AUSA has always exhibited.
  Mr. Speaker, this award is wonderful news for our community and I 
rise on behalf of everyone in north Alabama to express our sincere 
congratulations to the members of the Redstone-Huntsville Chapter of 
AUSA.
