                       Friday, November 15, 2013

  Mr. WEBSTER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, it is my privilege to recognize 
Staff Sergeant Rodney D. Painter, Jr. for nearly 11 years of service to 
our nation in the United States Air Force.
  As a member of the 19th Security Forces Squadron in Little Rock, 
Arkansas, Staff Sergeant Painter implemented the first Discipline and 
Adjustment Board and the Parole Board with First Sergeants. He 
coordinated with the U.S. Air Force Security Forces Center to develop a 
new confinement floor plan and led an extensive camera project to 
certify a new confinement facility that ensures the security of 
inmates.
  Staff Sergeant Painter has been generous in his philanthropy, in the 
most recent year volunteering over 40 hours with Big Brothers Big 
Sisters of America to provide guidance and mentorship to local youth. 
In the same year, he also volunteered over 20 hours with the United Way 
Homeless Shelter, strengthening the bonds between the United States Air 
Force and local communities. I commend Staff Sergeant Painter for his 
dedication to serving our nation and the Central Florida community. It 
is because of men and women like Staff Sergeant Painter who give of 
themselves to our country that we can live in a free country.
