  Mr. STEARNS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize United States Air 
Force Senior Master Sergeant Brian Forsythe for his service to our 
great nation. A resident of Florida, SMSgt Forsythe has honorably 
served for 21 years and will be retiring in January of 2013. His 
contributions ensure the greatest Air Force in the world completes 
their mission statement to fly, fight, and win . . . in air, space, and 
cyber space through the mastery of various positions including: Wing 
Functional Manager, Command Group Superintendent, and Infrastructure 
Section Chief. SMSgt Forsythe graduated from the Air Force Airmen 
Leadership School, Air Force Senior Noncommissioned Officer Academy, 
and Southwestern College, among others.
   In his 21 years of dedicated service, SMSgt Forsythe has displayed 
both patriotism and bravery through his successful deployments in 
Operations Southern Watch, Northern Watch, Iraqi Freedom, and Enduring 
Freedom. As a selfless mentor, he has inspired numerous U.S. and Allied 
Airmen earning recognition for individual accomplishments.
   His life is a living testament to the courage and duty our men and 
women in the armed forces possess, so that freedom and liberty may 
endure. On behalf of Florida's Sixth Congressional District, I extend 
my congratulations to SMSgt Brian Forsythe on his retirement from the 
United States Air Force.
