             RECOGNIZING THE SERVICE OF MAJOR BRETT TINDER

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I am grateful to recognize 
the 2021 Army Congressional Fellow, Major Brett Tinder, for his service 
to the citizens of the Second District of South Carolina. His year-long 
stay with the office is concluding and Brett will be sorely missed. Not 
only has he been an indispensable contributor to legislative goals, 
including the FY 2022 National Defense Authorization Act, but a valued 
member of the team.
  After graduating with a political science degree from Rutgers 
University, his already impressive military career has included 
numerous commendation and leadership positions in Fort Benning and Fort 
Carson. Brett has also been deployed to Poland, Germany, Romania, and 
to Afghanistan, where he was successful in his part with Operation 
Resolute Support--Freedom's Sentinel.
  His next assignment is with the Pentagon, where Major Tinder will be 
a valued participant for peace through strength.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops who successfully protected 
America for 20 years, as the global war on terrorism continues moving 
from the Afghanistan safe haven to America.
  We will remember Pearl Harbor.
