  Ms. BUERKLE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and pay tribute to 
LTC MaryJo Timpano, Director of Staff, 174th Fighter Wing upon the 
occasion of her retirement from the United States Air Force Air 
National Guard.
  Lieutenant Colonel Timpano assumed the duties of the Director of 
Staff and Wing Executive Officer for the 174th Fighter Wing at Hancock 
Field on June 4, 2008. It was under this assignment that Lieutenant 
Colonel Timpano has directed all wing and public affairs activities.
  Additionally, Lieutenant Colonel Timpano has served as the Hancock 
Field Sexual Assault Response Coordinator and the Community Manager for 
the 174th Fighter Wing.
  Prior to her assignments with the 174th Fighter Wing, Lieutenant 
Colonel Timpano served the Office of the Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff 
as an Executive Officer to the Assistant to the CJCS for National Guard 
and Reserve Matters.
  Lieutenant Colonel Timpano earned her Bachelor of Science degree in 
Developmental Psychology through the State University of New York at 
Brockport and is currently pursuing a Master's degree in Psychology. 
She has an extensive military education and has been the recipient of 
several medals.
  It is important that we as a nation recognize our service men and 
women for their dedication to the United States of America, 
particularly those as accomplished as LTC MaryJo Timpano.
  Mr. Speaker, it is with privilege that I pause to commemorate LTC 
MaryJo Timpano on her dedicated service to the Nation and congratulate 
her on her retirement from the United States Air Force Air National 
Guard.
