  Mr. PERRY. Mr. Speaker, today I offer my heartfelt congratulations to 
my constituent, Rick Panzar, on his upcoming retirement after more than 
24 years of service to the United States Air Force.
  Since he began his service to our Nation, Mr. Panzar has been 
assigned to the 366th Fighter Wing, Mountain Home Air Force Base, 
Idaho; the 5th Bomb Wing, Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota; and since 
2002, the 193rd Special Operations Wing in Middletown, Pennsylvania. 
He's deployed to Egypt, Bahrain, Turkey, Italy and Afghanistan. His 
numerous commendations and awards, including the Global War on Terror 
Service Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, the Air Reserve 
Forces Meritorious Service Medal and others, are a testament to his 
courage, tireless work ethic and character. His enduring legacy of 
service to our Nation truly is commendable.
  On behalf of Pennsylvania's Fourth Congressional District, I commend 
and congratulate Rick Panzar upon his retirement and for his service to 
the United States of America.
