                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, April 12, 2024

  Mr. OGLES. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that I recognize 
Master Sergeant Steven D. Parker, who is retiring from the 218th 
Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance Group (ISRG) of the 
Tennessee Air National Guard.
  Master Sergeant Steven D. Parker began his military career over forty 
years ago on March 12, 1984. He honorably served the Tennessee Air 
National Guard as a C-130 Aircraft Mechanic for 28 years and an 
Administrative Craftsman for 12 years. His deployments include time in 
Tabuk, Minhad, and at Bagram Air Base to support Operation Iraqi 
Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. He later served in Baghdad 
supporting Operation Inherent Resolve as an Administration Craftsman.
  Master Sergeant Parker's exemplary service and dedication to his 
country has twice earned him the 218 ISRG Senior Non-Commissioned 
Officer Quarterly Award. He also serves as the Sergeant at Arms at 
American Legion Post 141 in Tennessee, where he champions patriotism 
and community engagement, something which he commits to himself by 
volunteering in his community.
  I urge my colleagues to join me in thanking Master Sergeant Parker 
for his service to his country and in wishing him good luck as he 
retires.
