                     HON. EARL L. ``BUDDY'' CARTER

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 30, 2020

  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate 
Brian Mixon on his retirement after 4 years of active duty and 32 years 
of civilian service with the Department of the Army.
  Brian served honorably as an air traffic and airspace officer, and 
was recognized for his work when he was awarded the Air Traffic Control 
Manager of the Year award by the Air Traffic Control Association in 
2019. This national award is formally known as the General E.R. Quesada 
Memorial Award, and it's a medallion award presented to an individual 
for outstanding achievement and contribution during the previous year 
as an Air Traffic Control Manager.
  This is not the first time Brian has been recognized for his 
exceptional work. He also earned two other national awards, among many 
others.
  Hunter Army Airfield in Georgia's First Congressional District is one 
of the premier power projection platforms in the Army, which is 
utilized to deploy thousands of soldiers and essential equipment. 
Brian's contributions have been essential to the readiness capabilities 
of the units that utilize Hunter Army Airfield. I can't thank him 
enough for his many years of steadfast dedication to serving our great 
nation, and I wish Brian the best as he begins his retirement.
