  Mr. BANKS of Indiana. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate Master 
Sergeant Christopher B. Knight of the Indiana National Guard. Master 
Sergeant Knight is the recipient of the 2018 National Guard Military 
Person of the Year award for the state of Indiana. The award recognizes 
the very best personnel of Indiana National Guard. As 8th district 
commander Larry French stated, Master Sergeant Knight ``exemplifies 
what a member of the United States Military should be, both in and out 
of uniform''.
  Master Sergeant Knight of Charlestown joined the Indiana National 
Guard in May of 2000, deploying as an Aircraft Maintenance Journeyman 
Apprentice at Sheppard Air Force Base in Texas. He is currently serving 
as a Crew Chief for the 123rd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron. 
Additionally, Master Sergeant Knight has gallantly served our country 
both abroad in Iraq and at home during relief efforts after Hurricanes 
Katrina and Gustav.
  I would like to congratulate Master Sergeant Knight on his award and 
thank him and all members of the Indiana National Guard for their 
service.
