“Today I rise to recognize Chief Master Sergeant Josephine Yenke's retirement, after 28 years of honorable service to our Nation in the United States Air Force, Air Force Reserves, and Air National Guard, to her home in Hawaii. Chief Yenke began her service in Hawaii with Headquarters Pacific Air Forces in 1998 and has contributed significantly, making a long-lasting impact on our troops, servicemembers, and country, including mobilizing support for deploying troops through our country's long period in conflict. Chief Yenke recently retired as the headquarters individual reservist readiness and integration organization detachment two superintendent at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, where she served as the key senior enlisted adviser, assisting the commander with managing and directing personnel resource activities for over 400 reservists. Chief Yenke has given many years of her life in the service of our country and embodies the skills and expertise that our Reserve component servicemembers bring to our total force. Our grateful Nation thanks Josephine for her and her family's service and sacrifice, and we wish her the very best as she begins this new chapter in her life. ____________________”
