                    HONORING TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE

  (Mr. DUNN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DUNN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the airmen of Tyndall 
Air Force Base on a special date. Today marks exactly 2 months since 
Tyndall took a direct hit from Hurricane Michael, a devastating 
category 4.9 storm that damaged more than 90 percent of the structures 
on the air base.
  I salute the tremendous efforts of the Tyndall Air Force community 
and the surrounding civilian community for their recovery efforts. It 
is the remarkable work of the base leadership and all of the airmen of 
Tyndall that enabled this base and its elementary school to reopen 
ahead of schedule today.
  The men and women of Tyndall have shown great courage and 
determination in a time of extreme adversity. It is my great honor and 
pleasure to represent Tyndall Air Force Base, and I commend the work 
that they are doing day in and day out to rebuild this base stronger 
and better than ever.
