  Mr. MOORE of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to recognize the 
outstanding contributions, hard work, and legacy of Colonel Richard 
Tucker. His dedicated service to Alabama and the United States has made 
a lasting impact on the lives of many.
  Colonel Richard Tucker is a graduate of the United States Military 
Academy in West Point, New York, where he was commissioned in 1998. Mr. 
Tucker served as Chief of Staff at Ft. Novosel, U.S. Army Aviation 
Center of Excellence.
  Colonel Tucker has served our Nation throughout a remarkable career 
spanning multiple continents, commands, and combat zones. He is highly 
decorated for valor and meritorious service, and his leadership has 
been instrumental across a wide array of assignments, from commanding 
aviation units in North Carolina, Central America, and Korea, to 
shaping strategic initiatives at the U.S. Army Aviation Center of 
Excellence. He has deployed in support of critical operations in 
Bosnia, Egypt, Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Haiti, and Central America. A 
Master Army Aviator and Senior Parachutist, Colonel Tucker holds 
advanced degrees in psychology, human resources, and strategic studies. 
His legacy of leadership, dedication, and excellence will leave a 
lasting impact on Army Aviation and all who have served alongside him.
  I would like to congratulate Colonel Richard Tucker on his well-
deserved retirement and thank him for his service and dedication to the 
United States of America.
