          RECOGNIZING THE EXEMPLARY SERVICE OF ``TEAM TRAVIS''

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. GEORGE MILLER

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 30, 2010

  Mr. GEORGE MILLER of California. Madam Speaker, I rise today to 
recognize the enormous contributions of those serving our country at 
Travis Air Force Base in my home state of California. The 60th Air 
Mobility Wing, the 349th Air Mobility Wing, the 15th Expeditionary 
Mobility Task Force, and the 615th Contingency Response Wing, as well 
as the civilians and families serving at Travis have truly served our 
community and our Nation with the utmost dignity, honor and courage, 
and they truly deserve all of our respect.
  The members of ``Team Travis'' have gone above and beyond the call of 
duty in serving our Nation in missions around the globe. The active 
duty members and civilians who serve out of Travis have flown hundreds 
of thousands of hours in a number of military conflicts, as well as 
humanitarian and peacekeeping missions. Most recently, Team Travis 
provided search and rescue personnel, medical experts and supplies, and 
82,600 pounds of cargo in support of the relief mission following the 
January 12, 2010 earthquake in Haiti.
  As a congressman representing much of Solano County, California, many 
members of Team Travis are my constituents, and I can personally attest 
that these honorable men and women serve our community with just as 
much energy and dedication as they do our country. I have seen them 
volunteering, participating in the community, serving as positive role 
models for our young people, and so much more.
  I am proud to be a lead co-sponsor of this resolution honoring the 
men and women serving at Travis Air Force Base and I would like to 
thank my friend and colleague, Representative Garamendi, for 
introducing it. Once again, my deepest thanks to the men and women of 
Team Travis and I ask that all of my colleagues join me in supporting 
this important resolution.

                          ____________________
