   TRIBUTE TO THE 3RD BRIGADE, 98TH DIVISION, 108TH TRAINING COMMAND

 Mr. BUNNING. Madam President, today I pay tribute to the men 
and women in the 3rd Brigade, 98th Division, 108th Training Command in 
Lexington, KY, for receiving the 2008 Department of Defense Reserve 
Family Readiness Award.
  For those who are not familiar with this award, it recognizes 
National Guard and Reserve units who have displayed exceptional family 
readiness, while sustaining superior military readiness. This award was 
created in 2000 to recognize these outstanding military units.
  The men and women of the 108th Training Command in Lexington have 
shown that they value each and every family of their unit and remain 
committed to maintaining healthy relationships at home while they serve 
elsewhere. The U.S. military is the greatest fighting force in the 
world. I am proud that the best of the best hail from the Commonwealth 
of Kentucky.
  I now ask my fellow colleagues to join me in congratulating the 108th 
Training Command for their distinguished accomplishment. They truly 
make Kentucky and the entire country proud of their service.
