                  ARMY AVIATION ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA

  Mr. CHAMBLISS. Mr. President, I take great pride in recognizing the 
Army Aviation Association of America's, AAAA, 50th anniversary and in 
honoring their countless historic and noble contributions to the growth 
and strength of our Nation. Army aviation members play a critical role 
in every combat theater worldwide, and AAAA has proven to be a means of 
unwavering support. This unique organization has been the mechanism for 
increased communication and professional development among Army 
aviators throughout the history of organic Army aviation and the Army 
Aviation Branch. This contribution has led to vast leaps in battlefield 
mobility, lethality, and flexibility for the U.S. Army. AAAA and its 
members have distinguished themselves with thousands of volunteer hours 
and dollars providing direct

support and scholarships to Army aviation soldiers and their family 
members. I can say with certainty that AAAA has truly lived its mission 
of ``Supporting the U.S. Army Aviation Soldier and Family'' since its 
inception in 1957. I am pleased to publicly recognize this longstanding 
commitment to our military personnel and congratulate the Army Aviation 
Association of America on 50 years of service.
