                         Thursday, May 26, 2011

  Mr. ISSA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the honorable public 
service of Lieutenant Colonel Glenn Sanders as he leaves his post at 
the House Division of the Army Office of Legislative Liaison.
  Lieutenant Colonel Sanders was commissioned as a Field Artillery 
Officer in the United States Army in 1990 at California State 
University, San Bernardino.
  His first assignment was as a platoon leader in a Lance Missile 
Battery in Germany. His platoon performed one of the last Lance 
training missions in Europe prior to the nuclear missile system being 
decommissioned as part of nuclear weapons reductions agreements.
  LtCol Sanders then served with the First Cavalry Division at Fort 
Hood, Texas. After reassignment to the Second Armored Cavalry Regiment 
in Fort Polk, Louisiana, he deployed to Haiti in support of Operation 
Uphold Democracy. His unit helped lay the groundwork for a return to 
democracy by ensuring security during several key elections.
  Among his many duties, LtCol Sanders has also served as a Battalion 
Training Officer in the 420th Movement Control Battalion, an Assistant 
Professor of Military Science at North Dakota State University, and the 
Chief of the Mobilization Division at the Army's Training and Doctrine 
Command.
  In 2009, LtCol Sanders served as a Congressional Fellow with the 
House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. During this time I 
had the pleasure of working with him as he played a pivotal role in 
supporting

the Committee staff on a broad range of national security related 
issues. Following his fellowship, LtCol Sanders has served as the 
Executive Officer in the Army House Liaison Division since January 
2010.
  LtCol Sanders holds a BA in Political Science from the University of 
California, Riverside, and a Masters in Public Administration from the 
California State University, Northridge. He is currently enrolled in 
the United States Army War College. LtCol Sanders and his wife Kari 
have been married for over twenty years with two daughters, Kira and 
Kelli.
  It is an honor to recognize LtCol Sanders on the occasion of his 
farewell from the House Division of the Army Office of Legislative 
Liaison and his years spent in public service. Mr. Speaker, I ask you 
to please join me in recognizing LtCol Sander's dedicated service to 
the United States Army and the U.S. House of Representatives.
