                         Monday, July 23, 2018

  Mr. HUDSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the extraordinary 
career of Master Sergeant Danny D. Reynolds.
  In 1988, MSG Reynolds entered the Indiana Army National Guard. After 
completing Basic Training and Advance Individual Training at Fort 
Leonard Wood, Missouri, MSG Reynolds became active duty on July 25, 
1990. He was first assigned to Delta Company 15th Engineer Battalion, 
9th Infantry Division at Fort Lewis, Washington. From there, MSG 
Reynolds served all over the world, from Fort Bragg, North Carolina, to 
as far away as Yongsan, South Korea.
  Deployed on numerous operational assignments around the globe and 
through some of our nation's toughest times, MSG Reynolds stood ready 
to answer the call to serve our great nation. Some of his most notable 
engagements took place in Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom and 
during his two deployments with the Theater Civil Military Support 
Element in support of Special Operations Command Pacific. Throughout 
these operations, he delivered on the promise to keep America safe and 
confront our enemies head on under the most difficult conditions.
  During his career, MSG Reynolds received numerous medals, including 
the Meritorious Service Medal, Army Commendation Medal, Joint Service 
Achievement Medal, Army Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service 
Medal, Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal, Global War on 
Terrorism Service Medal, Korean Defense Service Medal, and the Combat 
Action Badge. His foreign badges include Korean, French and German 
Parachutist Badges. These awards and decorations are a testimony to his 
monumental success in safe-guarding America.
  While defending our nation overseas, MSG Reynolds most important 
commitment was to his family back home. He and his wife, Michele, 
raised five children during MSG Reynolds' illustrious career. This 
country cannot repay the debt we owe to MSG Reynolds and his family--
the Reynolds' are true American heroes. I wish him well in what is sure 
to be an active retirement.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me today in commemorating the career of 
Master Sergeant Danny D. Reynolds.
