  Mr. WITTMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the service 
of Mr. Michael E. Lufsey and his long and honorable government contract 
career. Mr. Lufsey has honored his country with over 40 years of 
service in graphic support and design, demonstrating not only skill at 
his craft, but devotion to our nation.
  Before his career in government contracting, ``Mike'' graduated from 
Douglas Freeman High School in 1968 in Henrico, Virginia. Two years 
later, he served with the United States Coast Guard for a brief, two-
month stint before receiving a medical discharge.
  In June 1977, Mr. Lufsey provided government contractor services with 
Magnavox Government and Industrial Corporation as a technical 
illustrator. With Magnavox, he assisted with computer graphic support 
to Department of Defense clients, developing military technical 
training manuals. In November 1992, Mike transitioned to TAD Technical 
Services, working as a Graphic Artist and providing graphic support for 
technology companies like IBM and JAYCOR. By August of 1993, Mr. Lufsey 
was the Senior Graphic Artist and Illustrator at Coleman Research 
Corporation where he provided graphic support for the Department of 
Energy on training presentations, briefings, and Department plans.
  In September 1997, Mr. Lufsey became a Principle Designer with Anteon 
Corporation (later General Dynamics). In this capacity, he performed 
briefing support services and magazine development for three Navy Flag 
Officers. He also produced large scale posters which were placed 
onboard the USS Ramage for tours conducted at the Army/Navy game in 
December 2008.
  For the past 21 years, Mr. Lufsey has served a contract with ECS 
(formerly Paradigm) and has continued to support the mission of the 
Missile Defense Agency and Aegis Missile Defense as a graphic designer. 
Throughout his prestigious career, Mr. Lufsey has received acclamations 
from satisfied clients and grateful organizations including letters of 
appreciation from four Rear Admirals, commendations from the Scientific 
Advisory Board, and the Theater Surface Combatants Unit Award for 
Excellence.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask you to join me in recognizing Mr. Michael Lufsey's 
lifetime of accomplishment and dedication. An admirable illustration of 
leadership and service, and an outstanding member of our community, may 
God bless Mr. Lufsey and his family as he continues to be an example of 
service and commitment. On behalf of America's First District, we say 
thank you.
