  Mr. EZELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor Commander

  Lieutenant Colonel Duncan joined the Air Force in 2003 and trained at 
Columbus Air Force Base where he finished with distinction, flying both

  He has a distinguished training career, training other pilots on both 
the F-15E and the F-35. Before the 31st was activated in April of 2021, 
Duncan served as commander of Detachment 1 of the 29th Training Systems 
Squadron.

  I thank Commander Duncan for a career of service to our country and 
wish him the best in retirement.
