                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, September 26, 2005

  Mr. TANCREDO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Matt 
Glasgow, who is set to retire from his position as a Public Affairs 
Specialist with the U.S. Forest Service on the Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre, 
and Gunnison National Forests in Colorado.
  In addition to serving the public as member of the U.S. Forest 
Service, Matt spent 20 years in the U.S. Army, retiring as a Master 
Sergeant in 1981. During that time, Matt served in posts as far away as 
Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. Closer to home, he spent 
time in Washington serving at posts in the Pentagon, the White House, 
and the U.S. Capitol.
  Matt was a recipient of numerous military awards, including the 
Legion of Merit, the Bronze Star, the Air Medal, the Joint Services 
Commendation Medal, and the Army Commendation Medal. He has also 
received several well deserved merit awards from the U.S. Forest 
Service.
  Mr. Speaker, Matt has spent the last few decades serving America.
  His dedication to public service, his expertise, his commitment, and 
his enthusiasm on the forest will all be missed.
