  Mr. CARTER. Madam Speaker, I would like to recognize Major General 
Jeffery W. Hammond, Commanding General, 4ID along with the 4th Infantry 
Division, Fort Hood, Texas for their honorable commitment to Fort Hood, 
Texas and the United States of America.
  The 4th Infantry Division will be leaving Fort Hood and relocating to 
Ft. Carson, CO this month.
  The citizens of TX-31 have supported the 4th Infantry Division 
through the Adopt-A-Unit Program as they deployed and completed tours 
in Iraq over the last year. Through this support relationships have 
been built with the men and women of the 4th ID and their families. The 
people of TX-31 will miss the remarkable family they have made.
  It has been a true honor to have MG Hammond and the men and women of 
the 4th Infantry Division reside in Texas District 31.
  I am pleased to recognize Major General Hammond and the 4th Infantry 
Division for their time spent at Fort Hood, Texas.
