LIEUTENANT COLONEL WILL VAUGHN
The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Holding). The Chair recognizes the
gentleman from Mississippi (Mr. Nunnelee) for 5 minutes.
Mr. NUNNELEE. Mr. Speaker, the Legislative Fellowship program is a
selective mideducation program where the Air Force places the very best
and brightest officers and civilians in congressional offices so that
they may learn the legislative process. For this past year, my office
was given the opportunity to host Lieutenant Colonel Will Vaughn.
Prior to the start of serving his fellowship, Lieutenant Colonel
Vaughn was assigned as chief training officer for the 97th Flying
Training Squadron, an Air Force Reserve associate unit supporting the
multinational Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training program at Sheppard
Air Force Base in Texas. He also served on a joint, interagency and
multinational staff in Jerusalem as a plans and programs officer for
the United States security coordinator for Israel and the Palestinian
Authority. He served on Active Duty, flying the F-16 and T-37 until
2008, where he transitioned to the Reserves, instructing in the T-37
and, most recently, the T-6.
Lieutenant Colonel Will Vaughn has effectively served the people of
Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I look forward to watching him do great
things for America.
