         TRIBUTE TO CHIEF WARRANT OFFICER 5 BERNARD SATTERFIELD

 Ms. AYOTTE. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize the 
accomplishments of CW5 Bernard Satterfield. On July 1, 2013, Chief 
Warrant Officer 5 Satterfield will retire after 40 years of 
distinguished service to the U.S. Army. With his decades of service and 
dedication to our country, Chief Warrant Officer 5 Satterfield has 
earned our deepest gratitude and respect.
  In September 1973, Chief Warrant Officer 5 Satterfield entered active 
duty service after completing basic combat training at Fort Jackson, 
SC. In 1984, he was appointed to the Warrant Officer Corps. In 2010, he 
became the regimental chief officer--the highest ranking warrant 
officer--of the U.S. Army's Ordnance Corps. Chief Satterfield served in 
multiple overseas tours and deployments to Germany, Panama, South 
Korea, Kuwait, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and numerous locations across the 
United States. His service earned him numerous military awards and 
decorations, including the Legion of Merit and the Bronze Star, for his 
faithful service and contribution to the Army's mission.
  In retirement, I am confident that Chief Satterfield will continue to 
serve our Nation. On behalf of the Senate Armed Services Committee and 
the U.S. Senate, I am proud to thank Chief Satterfield, his wife 
Deirdre, and their son Steven, for four decades of honorable service to 
our Nation. I wish him and his family the very best in 
retirement.
