                        Wednesday, June 3, 2009

  Mr. LARSEN of Washington. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Senior 
Chief Petty Officer Tammy D. Logan, United States Navy, who is retiring 
after 20 years of service to our nation.
  In May 1989, Senior Chief Logan, a native of my home state of 
Washington, enlisted in the U.S. Navy as a Seaman Recruit. Over the 
course of the next twenty years, Senior Chief Logan served the Navy in 
a wide variety of roles, travelling throughout the country and 
overseas. Her assignments include Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron 
(Light) 32, Carrier Strike Group 5, and the Commander in Chief, U.S. 
Atlantic Fleet.
  Throughout her career, Senior Chief Logan has demonstrated a 
commitment to continuing her education. In 2002, she earned her 
Associate of Arts degree from Saint Leo University, and she is 
currently scheduled to graduate from Excelsior College with a Bachelor 
of Science Degree in July of 2009.
  Senior Chief Logan has also earned a variety of awards for her 
outstanding service to our country. Her personal awards include the 
Meritorious Service Medal, Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal 
(two awards), Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal (five awards), 
and the Good Conduct Medal (six awards).
  I commend Senior Chief Logan for her commitment to our country and 
the sacrifices she has made on its behalf. On the occasion of her 
retirement, I thank her and her family for her honorable service to our 
nation and wish her fair winds and following seas as she concludes a 
distinguished career.
