                       Friday, September 27, 2019

  Mr. HUDSON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Chief Master 
Sergeant Daryl Cook on his 32 years of military service.
  Over the years, CMSgt Cook has made immeasurable contributions to our 
great nation and continues to personify the core North Carolina 
National Guard values of integrity, selfless service, and honor. He 
started his career in 1987 as a Fire Protection Specialist with the 
U.S. Air Force and retires as the Installation Fire Chief, 145th 
Airlift Wing, North Carolina National Guard located at Charlotte 
Douglas International Airport.
  During his career, CMSgt Cook has served as Airport Fire Fighter, 
Driver/Engineer, Fire Inspector, Hazardous Material Technician, and 
Nuclear Biological Chemical (NBC) Federal Trainer. Immediately 
following the September 11th terrorist attacks that devastated our 
nation, CMSgt was requested through the Army National Guard Readiness 
Center to staff the Civil Support Team Cell. Exemplary of CMSgt Cook's 
devotion to service, he helped manage response and readiness in support 
of Operation Noble Eagle. Cook has served as DOD HazMat Trainer, an 
instructor for the On-Scene Commanders Course and through the 
Department of Defense instructs first responders in NBC type events. 
CMSgt Cook has been instrumental in the development of the NC Emergency 
Training Center project at the Stanly County Airport.
  I am proud to represent a district with one of the largest military 
and veteran populations, and I know I speak for our entire community 
when I say we are truly grateful for CMSgt Cook's extraordinary service 
and cannot thank him enough. I would like to offer my sincerest 
appreciation and wish him success in his future endeavors.
  Madam Speaker, please join me today in honoring Chief Master Sergeant 
Daryl Cook on his 32 years of military service.
