  Mr. TIPTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Navy Intelligence 
Specialist Seaman Anthony T. Schmalz, who serves our country with great 
honor and pride. Seaman Schmalz has been awarded the Joint Service 
Achievement Medal for his meritorious achievements during Operation 
Odyssey Dawn.
  Seaman Schmalz served as a United States Africa Command Targets 
Branch analyst from February to April of 2011, providing in-depth 
analysis of Libyan targets. During this time he provided over 25 
percent of the electronic target folders written by the United States 
Africa Command and expertly managed the classification, downgrading, 
and dissemination of over 248 targets.
  Additionally, as a Remote Terminal Security Officer, Seaman Schmalz 
managed new accounts for 15 temporarily assigned duty personnel, 
allowing them to provide immediate support for the mission.
  Seaman Schmalz graduated from Montrose High School in Montrose, 
Colorado, in 2009 before enlisting in the United States Navy. For his 
critical contributions to the success of Operation Odyssey Dawn, he has 
been presented with the Joint Service Achievement Medal and is an 
example to the citizens of Colorado and to the United States of 
America.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to recognize Intelligence Specialist 
Seaman Anthony T. Schmalz. His courage and selfless efforts on behalf 
of our country are worthy of our highest respect.
