                       HONORING CHAD HILDEBRANDT

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. PAUL COOK

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 12, 2016

  Mr. COOK. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor a great Marine and a 
valuable asset to our civilian workforce. Since 2013, Chad Hildebrandt 
has been the Rail Operations Supervisor and subject matter expert on 
rail transportation for the Marine Corps Logistics Base--Barstow.
  Not only has Chad overseen the rail, truck, and air shipments of 
equipment for rotational training units, he has improved efficiency and 
streamlined logistics for the Marine Corps, saving millions of dollars 
in transportation costs and directly contributing to increased military 
readiness. More importantly, he has taken the time to train the next 
generation of our military logisticians, developing over 500 Marines, 
soldiers, and civilians to follow his example at logistics bases 
worldwide.
  Today, Chad will be named the 2015 Civilian Marine Logistician of the 
Year as the top civilian logistician in the nation. Later this year, 
Chad will also be named the Marine Corps Installations Command's 
Civilian of the Year, as the Marine Corps top civilian employee. This 
recognition is well deserved, as the Marines would be unable to do the 
training that they do without the extraordinary efforts from 
extraordinary people like Chad Hildebrandt. You make the 8th District 
proud, Chad. Semper Fi.
