  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor United 
States Navy Reserve Captain Steven M. Carley, who retired after 39 
years of service in August 2010. I ask that my colleagues join me in 
honoring Captain Carley for his commitment to our Nation.
  Captain Carley enlisted in the Navy Reserve in 1968 and began his 
career at Sand Point Naval Air Station in Seattle, WA. After 13 years 
of enlisted service working in intelligence, Captain Carley was 
commissioned in November 1984 and became an Intelligence Officer in the 
Navy Reserve. Over the course of his career, he was assigned to 
multiple units where he served in a range of roles from Intelligence 
Analyst to Executive Officer. Additionally, Captain Carley participated 
in five major joint exercises in Korea as well as annual overseas 
training in Germany and Japan.
  Captain Carley's achievements are remarkable and plenty. His military 
awards include the Meritorious Service Medal, Navy Reserve Meritorious 
Service Medal, Armed Forces Reserve Medal, and the Marine Corps 
Commendation Medal.
  Captain Carley currently resides in Olympia, WA where he serves his 
community through various community service projects and his position 
with the Washington State Department of Ecology, where he manages the 
water pollution control grant program.
  Madam Speaker, I congratulate Captain Steven M. Carley on his many 
remarkable achievements, his venerable service to his country, and his 
retirement after 39 years with the United States Navy Reserve.
