  Mrs. BUSTOS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Command 
Sergeant Major Ann Marie Sydnor on her retirement from the United 
States Army.
  CSM Sydnor is a native of Rock Island, Illinois and a graduate of 
Rock Island High School. She attended Basic Training and Advanced 
Individual Training in 1992 at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, graduating 
as a Unit Supply Specialist. She held many leadership positions during 
her career in the U.S. Army, such as Squad Leader, Supply Sergeant, 
Platoon Sergeant, Senior Drill Sergeant, Battalion S4 NCOIC, Supply 
Accounting NCOIC, G4 Multi-Class Logistics NCOIC, First Sergeant, 
Support Operations Sergeant Major, Battalion Command Sergeant Major, 
Brigade Command Sergeant Major and U.S. Army Command G4 Sergeant Major. 
CSM Sydnor has been stationed at home and abroad on various important 
assignments and has earned numerous awards and decorations, including 
the Legion of Merit, Bronze Star Medal, Meritorious Service Medal and 
several others. She exemplifies patriotism, determination and passion.
  It is because of community leaders such as Command Sergeant Major Ann 
Marie Sydnor that I am especially proud to serve Illinois' 17th 
Congressional District. Madam Speaker, I would like to again formally 
congratulate CSM Ann Marie Sydnor on her retirement from the United 
States Army.
