  Mrs. DINGELL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Master 
Sergeant Elvin Trusty, III for his dedicated service. His commitment to 
country and community is worthy of commendation.
  Born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland, MSG Elvin Trusty attended 
Dunbar Sr. High School prior to completing Basic Combat and Advanced 
Individual Training at Fort Sill in Oklahoma. He became the Battalion 
Operations Sergeant on the Wolf Team at the National Training Center at 
Fort Irwin and later assumed duties as Operations Group First Sergeant. 
MSG Trusty completed two full tours and one extended tour in Iraq and a 
tour in Afghanistan, earning numerous medals and awards for his 
service. MSG Trusty currently attends the University of Louisville 
pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Organizational Leadership and 
Learning. He is also a military science instructor and assistant chair 
of the Army Officer Education Program at the University of Michigan.
  MSG Trusty has shown a tremendous love for his country and community. 
His years as an educator and a member of the United States Military 
exemplify the selflessness of public service and stand as a testament 
to duty, honor, and country. We thank Master Sergeant Elvin Trusty, III 
for his commitment to protecting the American people and we 
congratulate him on his retirement. His dedicated leadership will be 
missed, but we wish him good health and every happiness in his 
retirement years.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Master 
Sergeant Elvin Trusty, III for his exemplary service. He has 
effectively served Michigan and its residents through his selflessness 
and leadership.
