                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, June 16, 2023

  Mr. CASTRO of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate a dedicated public servant on the occasion of his 
retirement from the United States Air Force. Senior Master Sergeant 
Louis Lusco II is an exemplary public servant who has demonstrated 
exceptional leadership and the highest standards of professionalism 
serving our Nation. Senior Master Sergeant Lusco spent 24 years 
exemplifying the motto of the United States Air Force--Aim High . . . 
Fly-Fight-Win, with his service to our country.
  Senior Master Sergeant Lusco is a native of Louisville, Kentucky. He 
went on to enlist in the Air Force in September 1999 as an aircraft 
fuel systems mechanic. His assignments took him from basic military 
training at Lackland Air Force Base, in my hometown of San Antonio, 
Texas, to Osan Air Force Base, in the Republic of Korea. Over the 
course of his career, Senior Master Sergeant Lusco served through three 
deployments, including in Al Udeid, Qatar, and Kandahar, Afghanistan, 
where he led aircraft maintenance units advance their missions.
  Senior Master Sergeant Lusco continued his service at the Department 
of State, with the Office of Legislative Affairs, where he coordinated 
legislative activity for the Department. Following his time at the 
State Department, Senior Master Sergeant Lusco served in my office as 
an Air Force Legislative Fellow, before completing his legislative tour 
at the Pentagon.
  In addition to his career achievements, Senior Master Sergeant Lusco 
is a devoted husband and father to his wife, Katrina and their 
daughter, Nadia.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in honoring Senior Master Sergeant Lusco 
for his two decades of service to our country.
