  Mr. STEWART. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Colonel Roger L. 
McCreery, a close friend of mine, who has faithfully served the United 
States Army and the Tooele Army Depot for three years, and will now be 
relinquishing command. It is my honor to recognize the many sacrifices 
and years of service Colonel McCreery has given to our great nation. I 
have had the opportunity to work with Colonel McCreery on a variety of 
issues and I have appreciated his openness and willingness to partner 
together to help the people of Utah.
  I offer my sincerest thanks for all those who serve at the Tooele 
Army Depot, and especially those who have had the privilege to serve 
with Colonel McCreery. I understand the sacrifices our service men and 
women make on behalf of our nation. I am humbled by the work Colonel 
McCreery and these individuals do every day to protect not only my 
freedom but our nation's freedom as well.
  Defending honor, duty, and country is the greatest accomplishment one 
can achieve in the U.S. Army. Colonel McCreery's courage and dedication 
has helped make our armed forces the most respected in the world.
