                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. BRAD R. WENSTRUP

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 16, 2016

  Mr. WENSTRUP. Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the United States Army 
Reserve, I congratulate our chief, Lt. General Jeffrey Talley, on his 
retirement and thank him for 34 years of service to our country.
  Lt. General Talley truly exemplifies the Reserve motto, Twice the 
Citizen. After 30 years of military service, he returned to active duty 
in 2012 to lead the U.S. Army Reserve, a nod to his unparalleled 
leadership.
  Since his return in 2012, Lt. General Talley has led the Army Reserve 
through one of the most battle-tested and operational times in its 
history. His vast knowledge and experience has positively shaped the 
Reserve into a strong, fighting force ready to answer their country's 
call.
  Lt. General Talley will be greatly missed and long remembered. I wish 
him all the best in his future endeavors.
