for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WESTERMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Major General 
Mark Berry, commander of the Arkansas National Guard. After a long 
career of dedicated service, Major General Berry is retiring on August 
10, 2019.
  He first assumed duties as the adjutant general of the Arkansas 
National Guard on January 13, 2015. Prior to this post, Major General 
Berry was the A-4 assistant to the director of the Air National Guard 
in Arlington, Virginia.
  In addition to his highly decorated career, Major General Berry is a 
man who goes out of his way to protect and to serve his fellow 
countrymen. Most recently, Major Berry provided critical immediate 
assistance when flooding devastated many parts of Arkansas.
  I had the opportunity to work side by side with him during flood 
relief efforts and saw how he worked around the clock to save lives and 
to protect homes and businesses. He is a great leader, a great friend, 
and, above all, a great American.
  I thank Major General Berry for his service and wish him all the best 
in retirement.
