Recognizing General Randy George

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mrs. HINSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize General Randy George, a native of Alden, Iowa, who was recently nominated to be the next Army Chief of Staff. This is a tremendous and well-deserved honor for General George.

General George served our Nation both in Iraq and Afghanistan. He is a decorated military hero, having earned a Purple Heart and Defense Distinguished Service Medal, among many other accolades.

General George exemplifies distinguished and selfless service. It is only because of brave Americans like General George that we can wave our American flag, we can speak freely, and we can practice the religion that we choose.

I am hopeful that his service inspires the next generation of Iowans and Americans to answer our Nation's call.

General George has made his hometown of Alden, Iowa, and the entire Hawkeye State proud.
