  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to 
congratulate Edward Averill on his upcoming retirement.
  After forty-six years of service with the United States Army as both 
a soldier and as a civilian, Mr. Averill will retire after serving as 
the Deputy to the Commander for Letterkenny Munitions Center.
  Originally from Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, Mr. Averill has served 
our Nation with honor and distinction. In 1979, after leaving active-
duty status, he continued to serve our country and community by 
enlisting in the Pennsylvania National Guard.
  Mr. Averill began his work at Letterkenny Army Depot in 1981 as a 
Munitions Destroyer, through his leadership and subject matter 
expertise he rose to the position of Deputy to the Commander in 2013.
  Today, I am proud to recognize Mr. Averill for his continued service 
to our Nation and the people of Pennsylvania's 13th Congressional 
District.
  I thank him, and may God continue to bless the United States of 
America.
