                       Friday, December 11, 2009

  Mr. JONES. Madam Speaker, I have the privilege of representing the 
wonderful people of the third district of North Carolina, which 
includes hundreds of military families and civilians that work for our 
military.
  Today, I would like to honor one such civilian--Mrs. Joann C. Tadlock 
will retire from the Naval Air Systems Command, Fleet Readiness Center 
East, Cherry Point, North Carolina on February 3, 2010.
  Mrs. Tadlock's distinguished government career spans over 31 years, a 
career that is full of achievements and accolades that greatly reflect 
upon her and upon the organizations with which she has served.
  In April of 1978, Mrs. Tadlock began her Federal career as a Clerk 
for the Department of the Interior, holding progressively responsible 
administrative positions within the Department of the Interior and the 
Naval Air Systems Command.
  Mrs. Tadlock returned to school and earned her bachelor's and 
master's degrees and became a Personnel Management and Equal Employment 
Opportunity Intern.
  Mrs. Tadlock subsequently served as the principal classifier for the 
Human Resources Office, Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point and has 
most recently served as Total Force leader and Navy's Multi-Trade 
expert in supporting the Fleet's best interests.
  Madame Speaker, I am very proud of Mrs. Joann Tadlock and I thank her 
on her many years of service to our great nation and our military. Her 
contributions to the Department of Navy will be missed as she moves 
forward to new and exciting opportunities.
  I would like to ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Mrs. 
Joann Tadlock on such an extraordinary career.
  Mrs. Tadlock epitomizes the dedication and professionalism that make 
our Federal government a model all over the world.
  God bless Joann, all of our troops, and may God continue to bless 
America.
