  Mr. AUSTRIA. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Major 
General Harry ``A.J.'' W. Feucht, Jr. for his outstanding service to 
our Nation, and the State of Ohio, on the occasion of his retirement.
  It is an honor to join the people of Ohio's Seventh Congressional 
District in congratulating General Feucht upon his retirement as 
assistant adjutant general for Air, and as a commander for the Ohio Air 
National Guard.
  He also served as the Air National Guard assistant to the commander, 
Air Force Materiel Command at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. In this 
role he provided support necessary to maintain and sustain Air Force 
weapon systems readiness.
  In 1968, General Feucht joined the Ohio Air National Guard and during 
his service obtained a bachelor of business administration from the 
University of Cincinnati. He has commanded the 180th Fighter Wing and 
the 121st Air Refueling Wing in the Ohio Air National Guard and in 2004 
was promoted to major general.
  General Feucht is an accomplished command pilot with over 4,700 total 
flying hours with more than 4,000 in the F-100, A-7, and F-16 and over 
700 in the KC-135. For his distinguished service, he was presented the 
Legion of Merit for exceptionally meritorious conduct in performance of 
outstanding services and achievements.
  For his many years of dedication to our Nation, I again join the 
people of Ohio's Seventh Congressional District in extending our best 
wishes upon his retirement and wish him ongoing success in all future 
endeavors.
