HONORING RANDY GEORGE Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 73 (Monday, April 27, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 73 (Monday, April 27, 2026)] [House] [Pages H3120-H3121] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING RANDY GEORGE (Ms. KAPTUR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.) Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the noble service of U.S. Army General Randy George, an American soldier whose life reflects decades of unwavering patriotic commitment to our Nation. General George, at an early age, was selected to attend and then graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point. General George led at every level academically and then [[Page H3121]] served from platoon to theater, many theaters, serving in Desert Storm, Iraq, Afghanistan, and ultimately as Chief of Staff of the United States Army. He earned his spurs and stripes. His career was not measured in titles but in sacrifice and judgment forged over time. He held the trust of soldiers. He led in peacetime and in war. At a moment when the challenges facing our U.S. military demand depth, steadiness, and proven leadership, experience matters. It matters in consequential judgment calls and decisions in battle that affect lives, and it matters in moments of uncertainty. It matters in ensuring the trust, strength, and readiness of our force. Mr. Speaker, the American people thank General Randy George for his utter commitment to our Nation. ____________________
