                        Thursday, June 23, 2011

  Mr. RUNYAN. Mr. Speaker, I humbly rise today to congratulate one of 
my constituents, Colonel Gina M. Grosso, on her elevation to the rank 
of Brigadier General. Brigadier General Grosso is currently the Joint 
Base and 87th Air Base Wing Commander at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-
Lakehurst in my district. She entered the Air Force in 1986 as a ROTC 
distinguished graduate from Carnegie-Mellon University. She has held 
several command and staff positions throughout her career. Her command 
tours include Headquarters Squadron Section, Military Personnel Flight, 
Mission Support Squadron, and command of the Air Force's sole Basic 
Military Training Group. I am tremendously proud of Brigadier General 
Grosso and I know she will continue to serve her country with honor and 
distinction. Mr. Speaker, please join me in congratulating Brigadier 
General Gina M. Grosso.
