                        Friday, February 3, 2012

  Ms. HAYWORTH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Brennan P. 
Mahoney of Carmel, New York for service to his nation as an engineer in 
the United States Army Reserve and for dedication to his role as a 
Veterans Service Officer for the New York State Division of Veterans' 
Affairs.
  Mr. Mahoney, who holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Architecture 
and a Master of Science degree in Education and Training, joined the 
U.S. Army Reserve in 1982. The record of Mr. Mahoney's 29 years of 
service describes a distinguished career that begins with an assignment 
to West Germany as a Bridge Specialist in 1982, followed by 
mobilization for a 15 month tour in Iraq beginning in 2006. In 
addition, he distinguished himself as a New York State Veterans Service 
Officer earning him the respect and gratitude of those he assisted. Mr. 
Mahoney has received numerous awards and honors for dedication.
  Lieutenant Colonel Mahoney is currently holding orders for his third 
active-duty deployment. He is expected to leave his home and family 
later this month to serve in harm's way once again, this time in 
Afghanistan.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to recognize Lieutenant Colonel Brennan 
P. Mahoney. We are fortunate to have benefited from his dedication and 
service.
