      CONGRATULATING COLONEL RICHARD GOLDENBERG ON HIS RETIREMENT

  (Mr. TONKO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TONKO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the exceptional 
career of Schuylerville resident Colonel Richard Goldenberg as he 
retires from the U.S. Army National Guard after 36 years of 
distinguished service.
  In his 13 years as the public information officer for the New York 
State Division of Military and Naval Affairs, he has been the steadfast 
voice of more than 20,000 men and women serving in the New York 
National Guard, the Naval Militia, and the New York Guard, where his 
leadership in community relations and strategic information support has 
been vital during overseas deployments and disaster response missions.
  Colonel Goldenberg's impact on our capital region has extended well 
beyond his service in the National Guard. As adjutant of Jewish War 
Veterans Post 105 and commander of the Jewish War Veterans Capital 
District Council, he has honored a legacy of service and brotherhood, 
presenting the annual Four Chaplains Brotherhood Award.
  Colonel Goldenberg has also been a cherished partner in our efforts 
to honor veterans, joining me in seeing off hundreds of capital region 
veterans on Honor Flights to Washington, D.C.
  Colonel Goldenberg's legacy of service, leadership, and dedication 
will continue to inspire each and every one of us. I congratulate him 
on a well-deserved retirement and wish him Godspeed.
