  Mr. ANDREWS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the extraordinary 
contributions of Colonel Joal E. Wolf. On behalf of New Jersey's First

Colonel Wolf for his service and dedication.

  Upon release from active duty in 1988, Colonel Wolf entered the U.S. 
Army Reserves and served as Battery Commander, Battalion S1, and 
Battalion S4 in the 4th Battalion, 92nd Field Artillery Regiment in 
Erie, Pennsylvania.
  In 1993, Colonel Wolf was recruited by the 308th Military 
Intelligence, MI, Detachment based in Erie, Pennsylvania, where he 
supported the Africa Branch and Executive Support Office at the Defense 
Intelligence Agency, DIA. While assigned, Colonel Wolf served as S3, 
Executive Officer, and Commander. During his command, the unit was 
credited for creating the Iraqi ``55 Most-Wanted'' deck of cards at the 
beginning of Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003. In 2008, Colonel Wolf 
assumed duties as the Commander of the 3300th Strategic Intelligence 
Group in support of the Defense Counterintelligence & HUMINT Center and 
the National Media Exploitation Center at the Defense Intelligence

  Colonel Wolf participates in several civic and business 
organizations, and is the former President of the French Creek Valley 
Chapter of the Military Officers Association of America. He currently 
resides in Conneaut Lake, Pennsylvania and is President and Proprietor 
of Conneaut Cellars Winery, Inc., a state of the art winery that 
produces 20,000 gallons of national award-winning wine.
  Madam Speaker, Colonel Joal E. Wolf's commitment to the United States 
must be recognized. I wish him the best in his future endeavors and 
thank him for his continued service and dedication to our country.
