HONORING MS. NANCY L. KUTULAS FOR HER 36 YEARS OF SERVICE TO OUR NATION

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. RICHARD HUDSON

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, January 24, 2019

  Mr. HUDSON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ms. Nancy L. 
Kutulas as she retires after 36 years of dedicated service as a 
Department of the Army Civil Librarian.
  There is a reverence that comes with the humble and steadfast service 
Ms. Kutulas has shown our country over nearly four decades. As one 
commander at the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School 
eloquently put it when summing up her career, there is ``no better 
example of the quiet professional and devoted civil servant'' than 
Nancy Kutulas.
  While Ms. Kutulas has served in many prestigious posts over the 
years, she spent the vast majority of it at the epicenter of the 
universe, Fort Bragg, located in North Carolina's Eighth Congressional 
District. And throughout her career, Ms. Kutulas has time and again 
been recognized for her hard work and dedication. In fact, last year 
she was named the United States Army Special Operations Command Unsung 
Hero of the Year.
  One example of her tenacity and resourcefulness was recently 
exhibited when she provided a Special Forces Operational Detachment 
Alpha (ODA) with vital information on a newly-operational weapon system 
that arrived before the soldiers had been trained how to use it. Ms. 
Kutulas sprang into action, tracking down the necessary information and 
dispatching the necessary experts to train the soldiers to successfully 
deploy the new system--all while under heavy enemy fire. Without her 
quick actions, who knows how things may have ended for the soldiers.
  I wish Ms. Kutulas a long and happy retirement, and I know I speak 
for countless service members and their families when I say she will be 
forever missed.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in thanking Ms. Kutulas for her 36 
years of dedicated service.
