                        Thursday, June 27, 2024

  Mr. AUSTIN SCOTT of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. 
John L. Eunice, III, who is retiring after over 40 years of dedicated 
service in the U.S. Air Force.
  Mr. Eunice began his career in 1981 after receiving his commission 
from the United States Air Force Academy and served for twenty-seven 
years on active duty, achieving the rank of Colonel. While on active 
duty, he served two command tours, serving as Commander of the 36th and 
347th Civil Engineer Squadrons.
  For the last sixteen years of his career, Mr. Eunice served as Deputy 
Base Civil Engineer for Moody Air Force Base in Lowndes County, 
Georgia. During this period, the outstanding performance, professional 
competence, and ceaseless efforts of Mr. Eunice resulted in the 
completion of twenty military construction projects and modernization 
projects supporting both the 23d and 93d wings. His guidance was 
recently instrumental in the development of the 23d Wing's F-35 bed-
down plan.
  Mr. Eunice also led the development of benchmarked intergovernmental 
service agreements, partnering with Lowndes County on the operation of 
the base water and wastewater treatment plants, a shared-use golf 
course, and municipal services agreements. His efforts led to the first 
Defense Community Infrastructure Program project in the State of 
Georgia, contributing to the 23d Wing and Lowndes County being awarded 
the 2023 Air Force Community Partnership award.
  I am honored to represent distinguished public servants and veterans 
like Mr. John Eunice. I wish him the best in his well-deserved 
retirement.
