  Mr. COOK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the retirement 
Chief Warrant Officer James R. Curry, who will be retiring after 30 
years of active duty in the United States Navy.
  Chief Warrant Officer Curry joined the Navy on August 28, 1989 as an 
Airman Recruit and completed Basic Recruit Training at Great Lakes, 
Illinois. His first assignment for as Naval Air Station North Island, 
where he served as a Plane Captain for Helicopter Anti-Submarine 
Squadron Ten. Over the course of his career, Chief Warrant Officer 
Curry has served in support of numerous operations, including North 
Korean Contingency Operations, Operation Desert Strike, Operation 
Southern Watch, Operation Enduring Freedom, and Operation Iraqi 
Freedom. Following multiple deployments afloat with Helicopter Anti-
Submarine Squadron Four and Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron Six, 
Chief Warrant Officer Curry reported to NAVSUPPFAC at Paxtuent River, 
Maryland, where he served as Command Duty Officer. His most rewarding 
and satisfying tour, however, was with Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 
23, the ``Wildcards'', where he served as Avionics Division Officer and 
Armament Division Officer.
  Chief Warrant Officer Curry has honorably served our nation for the 
last three decades, and it's thanks to people like him that our country 
remains free and secure. I congratulate him on an exemplary career, and 
wish him a happy retirement with his wife Tracy and his five children.
