                     Wednesday, September 18, 2019

  Mr. PERRY. Madam Speaker, today I offer my heartfelt congratulations 
to Mitchell S. Drucker, a resident of Chester Springs, Pennsylvania, on 
his upcoming retirement after 24 years of dedicated service to the 
United States of America.
  Lieutenant Colonel (LTC) Drucker currently serves the United States 
Army War College in coordinating Army Heritage Education Center (AHEC) 
Operations. He entered the United States Army in 1995 and served in 
numerous assignments and deployments across his distinguished career.
  In October 1995, LTC Drucker joined the Pennsylvania Army National 
Guard and became a commissioned officer two years later. In August 
2002, LTC Drucker deployed to Bosnia-Herzegovina, serving as a Battle 
Captain in the S-3 section and as the Liaison Officer for two joint 
contingent operations. After receiving his Command of Headquarters and 
Headquarters Troop (HHT) in May 2007, LTC Drucker deployed as the 
Commander of HHT to Sinai, Egypt in support of the Multinational Forces 
and Observers mission. He successfully redeployed to the United States 
to begin preparations for the next deployment.
  His numerous commendations and awards, including the Meritorious 
Service Medal, Army Commendation Medal, Army Achievement Medals, and 
others, are a testament to his steadfast courage, personal integrity, 
tireless work ethic and impeccable character. His enduring legacy of 
service to our Nation truly is exceptional and sets a standard for all 
to follow; he has left a lasting impact on all of those he has trained.
  On behalf of Pennsylvania's Tenth Congressional District, I commend 
and congratulate my fellow brother-in-arms, Lieutenant Colonel Mitchell 
S. Drucker, upon his retirement and for his tireless service to the 
United States of America.
