    CONGRATULATING ARMY NATIONAL GUARD SPECIALIST TERRANCE McKINNEY

  (Mr. STUTZMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. STUTZMAN. Mr. Speaker, I stand honored to represent Indiana's 
Third Congressional District, which is home to one of the United States 
Armed Forces' finest members, Army National Guard Specialist Terrance 
McKinney.
  After a 2-day competition between 14,000 soldiers at Camp Atterbury 
Joint Maneuver Training Center, Indiana, from April 18-19, National 
Guard Specialist Terrance McKinney earned the title of Indiana's Army 
National Guard Soldier of the Year.
  McKinney, at age 25, is now joined with 54 others as the best 
National Guard soldiers in the country.
  McKinney was also recognized for his exceptional achievement Friday, 
May 20, 2011, at Victory Field in Indianapolis and moves on to compete 
at the regional level.
  McKinney is from Fort Wayne, Indiana, and a member of Detachment 18 
Recruiting and Retention Command out of Muncie, Indiana.
  I congratulate Army National Guard Specialist Terrance McKinney for 
his achievements and am proud of Indiana's 14,700 members of the 
Indiana Army and Air National Guard.
  We owe endless gratitude to these men and women in uniform who have 
devoted their lives to our security, brought justice to the leader of 
al Qaeda, and continue to bring justice to those who seek to destroy 
us.
