she prepares to move on to her next duty station. I am grateful for her 
exceptional service to our Nation and to the Aurora community.
  Colonel Dexter has been an outstanding leader during her tenure at 
Buckley Space Force Base. Under her command, Buckley has made numerous 
advancements in space operations, infrastructure improvements, and 
community partnerships. Her dedication to the men and women of Space 
Base Delta 2 is evident in every action she takes on their behalf.
  During her time at Buckley, Colonel Dexter has worked to bolster the 
morale and well-being of the personnel under her charge. Her commitment 
to creating a supportive environment does not go unnoticed and has 
contributed to the readiness and effectiveness of the base.
  Colonel Dexter has also been a remarkable advocate for the base 
within the local community, strengthening ties and ensuring Buckley's 
integral role in our region. Her engagement with local leaders and 
citizens has fostered mutual understanding and support.
  On behalf of the people of Colorado's 6th Congressional District, I 
extend my deepest gratitude to Colonel Heidi Dexter for her 
distinguished service and wish her the very best at her next duty 
station. Her leadership has been instrumental to Buckley's operations 
and her contributions to our Nation and community will have a lasting
