                         TRIBUTE TO TODD DUNLAP

 Mr. DAINES. Mr. President, today I wish to recognize Todd 
Dunlap from East Helena, MT. Todd served in the U.S. Navy for 24 years 
as an electronic warfare and cryptology specialist, ultimately 
attaining the rank of master chief petty officer, the highest enlisted 
rank in the Navy. Todd's service included seven deployments overseas in 
support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and other efforts. His work 
supported Special Operations Forces on the ground.
  Todd's service did not end when he left Active Duty. He now works for 
the Montana Department of Veterans Affairs and continues to support 
those who have also served our country. His peers view him as a highly 
skilled professional and subject matter expert,

and he has earned a reputation for selfless outreach across the State 
to assist veterans and their family members navigate the VA.
  As someone who continues to serve members of the Armed Forces 
community, Todd is receiving a gift from a Montana organization that 
donates a fully outfitted trip to military servicemembers who have 
provided extraordinary service to our country and to those facing life-
threatening illness. I sincerely thank Todd for his continued service 
to our great Nation. He is well-deserving of this recognition. As an 
avid outdoorsman myself, I hope he tags a wonderful elk during his time 
away with family.
