  Mr. SMITH of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Captain 
Ernest T. Nordman of Cape Girardeau, Missouri for his outstanding 
achievements and exemplary years of service to our Nation.
  Captain Nordman is being awarded the prestigious Manion Award for 
Officer Logistician of the Year. The award is named after 1st 
Lieutenant Travis Manion, a Marine logistician who was killed by enemy 
sniper fire in Iraq in 2007. This award honors outstanding leadership 
skills, exemplary actions and overall conduct. I would like to 
congratulate Captain Nordman for this distinguished achievement and his 
honorable service. I am tremendously grateful for the dedicated men and 
women who have dutifully served our country, and among them leaders 
such as Captain Nordman who have risen as admirable leaders. It is my 
pleasure to recognize his achievements before the House of 
Representatives.
