and the United States Military, I congratulate Colonel Todd Mayer on 30 
years of valued service and dedication to his country.
  Since 1985, Col. Mayer has upheld the core LDRSHIP values that are 
near and dear to the National Guard: Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless-
Service, Honor, Integrity, & Personal Courage.
  A highly decorated soldier, Col. Mayer was awarded the Purple Heart 
in 1991 after being wounded in Operation Desert Storm and the Bronze 
Star in 2003 for his heroic achievement. His time in uniform is 
celebrated by these courageous leadership efforts. He has brought 
incomparable virtue to himself, his family, his uniform, and his 
nation.
  Col. Mayer, congratulations again on your retirement and thank you 
for your longstanding service to the United States Army National Guard.
