     RECOGNIZING THE SERVICE AND RETIREMENT OF COLONEL KEITH LANDRY

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. GEOFF DAVIS

                              of kentucky

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, June 24, 2011

  Mr. DAVIS of Kentucky. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor COL Keith 
A. Landry, the Commander and District Engineer for the Louisville 
District Army Corps of Engineers. After nearly 2 years of serving in 
this post, Colonel Landry will be retiring on July 14, 2011.
  Colonel Landry received his commission as a 2nd Lieutenant in the 
Corps of Engineers in 1985 after graduating from our shared alma mater, 
the United States Military Academy at West Point. He has since 
completed five overseas tours, including deployments with the 3rd 
Infantry Division during Operation Iraqi Freedom and two tours of duty 
teaching at the United States Military Academy.
  During his tenure as the Commander for the Louisville District Army 
Corps of Engineers, Colonel Landry oversaw all military construction in 
Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee. His work has 
had a tremendous impact on the mission readiness capabilities and 
quality of life of soldiers and airmen across the nation.
  Today, as we celebrate a distinguished career spanning 26 years, I am 
pleased Colonel Landry has decided to remain in the great Commonwealth 
of Kentucky and I am certain he will approach his future endeavors with 
the same level of excellence in service we have come to expect from 
him.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask the House to join me in commending COL Keith 
Landry and in offering him our sincerest thanks for his incredible 
service to our country and the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
