                        TRIBUTE TO MEL TONASKET

  Ms. CANTWELL. Mr. President, I rise today along with my colleague
Senator Murray to join many in the Pacific Northwest community and
Indian country to honor Mel Tonasket, a leader and member of the
Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation.
  Mel retired last week after more than 55 years of service to his
Tribe, community, and country.
  After serving the Nation in the U.S. Navy, Mel worked for the Bureau
of Indian Affairs for 8 years before being elected in 1970 to the
Colville Business Council, the governing body of the Confederated
Tribes of the Colville Reservation. Mel would continue to serve on the
Colville Business Council as a representative of the district serving
Omak, WA, at various times for the next 55 years, which concludes with
his well-earned retirement.
  Mel helped lead the Colville Tribes and Indian country during one of
the most consequential periods in modern Tribal history. He was part of
the generation of Native leaders who sought to reverse the Federal
policy of termination and fought to preserve the rights and future of
Tribal communities. That work helped protect the sovereignty of the
Colville Tribes and contributed to a broader movement that reshaped
Federal Indian policy.
  Mel's impact extended well beyond his reservation. From 1973 to 1976,
he served for 4 years as president of the National Congress of American
Indians, the largest and oldest national Tribal organization in the
United States. While President, he helped mobilize national support for
landmark legislation, including the Indian Health Care Improvement Act,
the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act, and the
Indian Child Welfare Act. Between breaks serving on the Colville
Business Council, Mel worked for the Indian Health Service and retired
from Federal service as the CEO of the Colville Service Unit, which
provides healthcare to citizens of the Colville Tribes.
  Over the course of his career, Mel served in numerous leadership
roles and has represented Tribal governments in national and
international forums. Through that leadership, he strengthened the
voice of Tribal nations at the national level and helped secure
protections and opportunities that continue to benefit Native families
and communities today.
  It is my honor to join the Colville Tribes, the people of Washington
State, and all those throughout Indian Country in congratulating Mel
Tonasket on this remarkable milestone. Mel, we wish you the best of
luck in your retirement and hope you can create more memories in this
next stage of your life.

                TRIBUTE TO SERGEANT MAJOR DAVID MARSHALL

  Mr. SCHATZ. Mr. President, I rise today to pay tribute to an
exceptional noncommissioned officer in the U.S. Army, SGM David J.
Marshall, who currently serves as the deputy chief for the Army's
Senate Liaison Division and will retire from Active Duty after 20
distinguished years of active Federal service at the end of this year.
Throughout his career, Sergeant Major Marshall has personified the
highest standards of Army professionalism and the soldierly values of
loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity, and
personal courage to the Army and our Nation. Many of us on Capitol Hill
have enjoyed the opportunity to work with Sergeant Major Marshall and
it is my privilege to recognize his achievements.
  Sergeant Major Marshall is a distinguished leader whose career in the
U.S. Army has been marked by unwavering dedication and exceptional
service. Born and raised in St. Louis, MO, Sergeant Major Marshall
embarked on his military journey with a commitment to excellence that
would define his decades-long career.
  Enlisting as a combat documentation production specialist in 2006,
Sergeant Major Marshall began his service as a combat photographer at
55th Signal Company (Combat Camera) and completed one combat deployment
in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. He held various tactical and
operational positions, including roles at American Forces Network
Livorno, the Army Entertainment Detachment, the Cyber Center of
Excellence Noncommissioned Officer Academy Detachment, the Defense POW/
MIA Accounting Agency, and 9th Psychological Operations Group
(Airborne).
  Sergeant Major Marshall was competitively selected to serve as an
Army congressional fellow for the fiscal year 2023 and was assigned to
my office. During his fellowship, he gained valuable insights into the
workings of Congress and its relationship with the U.S. military, while
also advising our team on defense and veterans' issues. His dedication
and professionalism were evident in every task he undertook. For the
past 3 years, he has served in the Army's Senate liaison office, where
he has played a crucial role in answering congressional requests for
information, staffing engagements between Army senior leaders and
Members of Congress, and leading congressional delegations abroad to
conduct defense oversight.
  Sergeant Major Marshall's lengthy and diverse career was filled with
experiences that have enriched him both as a soldier and a person. It
is no surprise that he has been honored with numerous military awards
and decorations including the Defense Meritorious Service Medal,
several Army Meritorious Service Medals, the Combat Action Badge, and
the Signal Corps Bronze Order of Mercury, among others. His exemplary
service and steadfast leadership have earned him the respect and
admiration of colleagues and superiors alike.
  Any tribute to Sergeant Major Marshall would be incomplete without
acknowledging the unwavering support of his wife Jillian and the joy
brought by their son Miles. Jillian has stood by Sergeant Major
Marshall at every step of his journey, providing love, care, and
wisdom.
  On behalf of the U.S. Senate and a grateful nation, I thank Sergeant
Major Marshall, his wife Jillian, son Miles, and their entire family
for the commitment, sacrifices, and contributions they have made
throughout his honorable military service. Congratulations on
completing an exceptional and successful career.
