  Mr. PORTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Colonel Terry S. 
Robinson and congratulate him upon his retirement. Colonel Robinson has 
committed his life to serving others. He served over 26 years in the 
Air Force and has held numerous positions at the Salvation Army Adult 
Rehabilitation Program in Las Vegas over the past 12 years.
  Colonel Terry Robinson was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. He 
remained in Ohio to continue his formal education and received his 
Bachelor's and Masters Degrees in Psychology. Upon graduation from 
college, Mr. Robinson joined the U.S. Air Force to fulfill his military 
obligation. Determined and dedicated to achievement while serving his 
country, he stayed in until he earned the rank of full colonel. Upon 
retirement from the United States Air Force, Colonel Robinson began 
working at the Nevada Power Company supervising their security forces 
as the Chief of Security and acting as a consultant to ensure a safe 
working environment for all employees and customers.
  Colonel Robinson began serving specialized needs of the citizens of 
Nevada when he began with the Salvation Army Rehabilitation Program as 
a Certified Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselor. He advanced to Clinical 
Supervisor and he worked his way up to his current position of Clinical 
Program Director from which he is retiring.
  Madam Speaker, I am proud to honor Colonel Terry S. Robinson who has 
served the citizens of the State of Nevada diligently. His commitment 
to his work in facilitating and supervising the assistance of the 
people in Nevada is valued and should be applauded by all. I would like 
to thank him for his military and civilian service and wish him well 
upon his retirement.
