  INDIANA AIR NATIONAL GUARD AIRMAN OF THE YEAR: STAFF SERGEANT ANDRE 
                               CARBONEAU

  (Mr. STUTZMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. STUTZMAN. Mr. Speaker, I'd like to honor a native member of 
Indiana's Air National Guard today. Staff Sergeant Andre Carboneau was 
recently awarded Indiana Air National Guard Airman of the Year for 
2010. The honorable award is designed to recognize members that are 
hardworking, are involved in the community, and have continued to 
advance themselves in education. After members compete on a quarterly 
basis, they compete at the State level to become the airman of the 
year.
  Carboneau received his award Friday, May 20, at Victory Field in 
Indianapolis. He is from Warsaw, Indiana, and a phase aircraft mechanic 
for 122nd Fighter Wing in Fort Wayne, Indiana. He is also a full-time 
student at Indiana State University, where he is majoring in 
professional aviation.
  I congratulate Staff Sergeant Andre Carboneau for his achievements 
and am proud of Indiana's 14,700 members of the Indiana Army and Air 
National Guard.
  Our Nation owes endless gratitude to these men and women in uniform 
who

have devoted their lives to our security and the preservation of our 
liberty.
