  Mr. PERRY. Mr. Speaker, I am honored to recognize Tech Sergeant 
Michael A. Bettis.
  Sergeant Bettis is retiring upon 20 years of tireless service to our 
Nation. His service in the U.S. Air Force as a Firefighter spanned from 
2000 through 2004, during which he was twice deployed. During his 
deployment in the UAE, he was selected for Senior Airman below zone, 
and also earned the Air Force Achievement Medal. He then deployed to 
Qatar in 2004, before a brief return to civilian life.
  Tech Sergeant Bettis was called back to our Nation's service in the 
West Virginia Air National Guard, wherein he cross-trained into the 
Security Forces in 2008, and deployed a third time in 2010 to Saudi 
Arabia. He reenlisted in the Pennsylvania Air National Guard, where he 
finished his storied and successful career.
  Mr. Speaker. I'm privileged to commend Tech Sergeant Michael Bettis 
on his tireless, selfless and loyal service to the United States, and I 
wish him Godspeed in his future.
