Whereas, he has been recognized for his outstanding service by
receiving Navy and Air Force commendation medals and several
meritorious unit medals; and
Whereas, Commander Culbertson served six months in the Gulf of
Tonkin and aboard the USS Fox; and
Whereas, his military experience is superior, receiving training as an
S-4 Phantom Pilot, serving as a weapons and tactics instructor, and

and
Whereas, Commander Culbertson became a NASA Astronaut in June
