  Mr. GUTHRIE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Brigadier General 
Joseph Anderson for his service to Fort Knox and our nation. Brig. Gen. 
Anderson has effectively served as the Deputy Commanding General of the 
United States Army Recruiting Command (USAREC) since May 27, 2008. 
Brig. Gen. Anderson will be leaving this post in July 2009.
  Brig. Gen. Anderson provided outstanding leadership for USAREC that 
ensured it would become a successful command for recruiting. He is a 
talented leader, skilled motivator, and inspiring mentor.
  Brig. Gen. Anderson displayed exceptional training skills, innovative 
ideas, and outstanding performance. His commitment to ensuring the 
safety of USAREC soldiers, civilian employees, contractors, and family 
members was extraordinary.
  Brig. Gen. Anderson's dedicated effort is an example for all 
Kentuckians to follow. I thank Brig. Gen. Anderson for his commitment 
to the people of Fort Knox, the men and women in the Army, and our 
nation.
