  Mr. COSTELLO. Madam Speaker, I. rise today to pay tribute to Colonel 
Ronald L. Marselle for his outstanding service to our nation on the 
occasion of his retirement. His dedicated service to the citizens of 
our nation, the Department of Defense, and our Congress is both 
admirable and commendable.
  Colonel Marselle earned his commission as a Distinguished Graduate 
from the United States Air Force Academy in 1985. He attended 
undergraduate pilot training at Williams Air Force Base and as an 
aviator, served as an aircraft commander, instructor, and evaluator in 
the KC-135 aircraft.
  He returned to the Air Force Academy in 1998 where he led, mentored, 
and developed our nation's future Air Force officers. Colonel Marselle 
continued his excellent service to our nation in Washington, D.C., as 
Deputy Division Chief, Future Concepts and Transformation Division, 
Headquarters U.S. Air Force.
  Most recently, Colonel Marselle provided legislative counsel for the 
Commander of the United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM). His 
in-depth knowledge of the legislative process and USTRANSCOM helped 
foster the strongest of working relationships. Without doubt, Colonel 
Marselle's efforts in this regard were instrumental in support of and 
service to our nation, and will not be forgotten.

  Colonel Marselle's successful journey during his many years of 
service could not have been completed without the support of his loving 
family.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating 
Colonel Ronald L. Marselle on his well deserved retirement, and in 
thanking him for his service to our country.
