                          HON. JOHN B. LARSON

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 26, 2017

  Mr. LARSON of Connecticut. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Chief Warrant Officer Five (CW5) Mark S. Marini, Sr. for his dedicated 
service to our Country, the United States Army, and the Connecticut 
National Guard.
   This week, Mr. Marini retires from the Connecticut Army National 
Guard after 42 years of uniformed service. For over four decades, Mr. 
Marini has served the State of Connecticut and our Country with the 
utmost dignity and respect, and it is my profound honor to recognize 
him as he retires this Thursday from his position as the Command Chief 
Warrant Officer of the Connecticut Army National Guard.
   CW5 Marini's accomplishments while serving at home and with his unit 
deployed into harm's way are extensive-his full engagement, leadership 
and contributions have had a significant and long lasting impact upon 
the numerous formations that make up our Connecticut National Guard. 
His dedication to his country, the National Guard, and the men and 
women of the state is unparalleled.
   I extend my deepest congratulations to CW5 Marini upon his 
retirement, and extend my appreciation to him for enduring so much for 
so long on our behalf.

                          ____________________
