                         TRIBUTE TO TERRY HILL

 Mr. INHOFE. Madam President, I am speaking today to highlight 
a service-disabled veteran and my constituent, Terry Hill, who is the 
CEO and cofounder of Rapid Application Group, an additive manufacturing 
facility just outside of my hometown of Tulsa in Broken Arrow, OK. Mr. 
Hill is a hero who served his Nation nobly as a UH-60 Black Hawk 
medical evacuation pilot, flying more than 750 combat missions serving 
in the U.S. Army.
  Due to Mr. Hill's experience, he knows better than anyone just how 
essential the technology of additive manufacturing can be in the field 
to support nonflight-critical parts to increase the overall readiness 
and force of our military. Additive manufacturing has improved military 
readiness and enabled the military services to be more self 
sustainable. Continued advancement in this area will further improve 
our military's readiness and overall ability to accomplish the mission 
at hand.
  When Mr. Hill returned home and started his business, he continued to 
serve our Nation by taking care of his fellow veterans. He is committed 
to hiring veterans to work in his facility and is known within our 
community for seeking out opportunities to help those who have worn the 
uniform. I take this opportunity today to highlight and thank Mr. Hill 
for his service in the U.S. Army, but also for his continued service in 
delivering needed tools to the warfighter and for supporting our 
veterans.
