  Mr. AUSTRIA. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Lieutenant 
General Terry L. Gabreski, for her outstanding service to our Nation on 
the occasion of her retirement.
  On behalf of the people of Ohio's Seventh Congressional District, I 
am honored to congratulate Lieutenant General Gabreski upon her 
retirement as Vice Commander of the Air Force Material Command at 
Wright Patterson Air Force Base.
  Her dedicated service to the citizens of our Nation and our area is 
both admirable and commendable. Gabreski received her commission in 
1974 upon her graduation from officer training school. Since that time, 
she has served as director of maintenance for the deputy chief of staff 
for installations and logistics at Headquarters, U.S. Air Force.
  Over the course of her distinguished career, she has also directed 
two aircraft maintenance units, served as a squadron maintenance 
supervisor in three units, commanded three maintenance squadrons and a 
logistics group, and twice served as a major air command director of 
logistics. Lieutenant General Gabreski will be retiring effective 
January 1, 2010.
  For her many years of service to our Nation, I join the people of 
Ohio's Seventh Congressional District in extending our best wishes upon 
her retirement and wish her ongoing success in all future endeavors.

                          ____________________
