Mr. President, I am pleased to commend LTC Daniel S. Artino for his dedication to duty and service as an Army legislative fellow and congressional budget liaison for the Assistant Secretary of the Army. Dan was recently selected to command an Apache battalion and will soon depart for Fort Bliss, TX. A native of Stow, OH, Dan was commissioned as an aviation officer after his graduation from the U.S. Military Academy, where he earned a bachelor of science degree in international relations. He also earned a master's degree in legislative affairs from George Washington University. Dan has served in a broad range of assignments during his Army career. He has led troops as an attack platoon leader, a headquarters company commander, and as the commander of an attack reconnaissance company flying Apache helicopters. He has served overseas in Germany and deployed several times into combat in support of operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Dan's leadership has been felt from the platoon to the brigade level. In 2015, Dan was selected to be an Army congressional fellow, and my office was fortunate to host him. For the next year, Dan served the State of Mississippi and the Nation admirably. In his subsequent role as congressional budget liaison, Dan ensured the Army's budget positions were well represented to the Senate and House Committees on Appropriations. I have enjoyed the benefit of Dan's counsel over the past 3 years.…
