in the house of representatives
Mr. SORENSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Colonel Amy S. Johannsen of Morrison, Illinois, to mark the conclusion of an exceptional 40-year career in the United States Air Force. As Commander of the 934th Maintenance Group. Minneapolis Joint Air Reserve Station in Minnesota, Colonel Johannsen has led 288 AGR, Reserve, and civilian personnel across 17 Air Force Specialty Codes, overseeing critical maintenance operations on eight C-130H aircraft on combat airlift missions.
Colonel Johannsen's service reflects the Air Force's “Aim High. . . Fly-Fight-Win” motto. She supported Desert Shield, Desert Storm, and multiple deployments throughout Southwest Asia, including operations in Qatar in support of the Global War on Terrorism. Freedom's Sentry, and Freedom's Sentinel. Her selection to the TFI AMC-led Tanker Task Force under Brigadier General Fountaine further underscores her exceptional expertise and trust within the service.
Service Medal with five oak leaf clusters, the Air and Space Commendation Medal, the Air and Space Achievement Medal, the Joint Meritorious Unit Award, and the Air and Space Outstanding Unit Award with two oak leaf clusters.
Mr. Speaker, Colonel Amy Johannsen's career reflects the highest ideals of service, leadership, and commitment to our country. I join her family, colleagues, and grateful Nation in congratulating her on her well-earned retirement and thanking her for four decades of selfless service to the United States.
