CONGRATULATING MAJOR GENERAL PATRICK D. SARGENT
(Mr. DUNN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. DUNN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Panama City,
Florida, native Major General Patrick D. Sargent for assuming command
of the U.S. Army Health Readiness Center of Excellence at Fort Sam
Houston.
I had the pleasure of meeting General Sargent last year in
Washington. He has had a decorated Army career, serving our country for
more than three decades.
He grew up in Bay County and attended Florida State University before
joining the Army in 1985.
General Sargent is board certified in healthcare administration, and
he is a medevac pilot. He has been a leader in providing healthcare to
our troops for many years.
He was in charge of all medical care in Iraq as the Commander of the
Medical Task Force Iraq. In his own words, he has worked to bring
humanity to the battlefield, and I believe he will brilliantly continue
that work in his new post.
Mr. Speaker, please join me in congratulating Major General Patrick
Sargent on his new posting.
