  Mr. MAST. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Major General Wayne 
P. Jackson, Retired, a true patriot and fellow veteran who I had the 
honor of joining in throwing out the first pitch earlier this month at 
Roger Dean Stadium.
  Born in Chicago in 1929, General Jackson was commissioned in 1951 as 
a Second Lieutenant after several years of enlisted service in the U.S. 
Army Air Force and U.S. Navy. His 37 years in the service was defined 
by profound courage and many accomplishments.
  He served in various overseas theaters of operation and has commanded 
Signal Corps, Military Intelligence and Civil Affairs units. As a 
General Officer he served as the Director of Counter Intelligence and 
Security, the Assistant to the Chief of Staff for Intelligence at the 
Department of the Army Headquarters, the Commanding General of the 
352nd Civil Affairs Command, and the Deputy and Commanding General of 
the 97th Army Reserve Command.
  General Jackson has also been awarded the Expert Infantry Badge, the 
Parachute Badge, and the Master Aviator Badge. His decorations include 
the Distinguished Service Medal, the Meritorious Service Medal, the 
Army Commendation Medal and several other military awards and 
decorations.
  However, General Jackson's life of excellence extends not only to his 
military service, but to his academic work as well. He received his 
Bachelor of Arts and Masters of Arts degrees in psychology at the 
University of Tulsa. He did post graduate work at the Illinois 
Institute of Technology and the University of Southern California. His 
military education includes the basic and advanced officer courses at 
the Signal and Military Intelligence Schools. He has also completed the 
advanced courses at the Civil Affairs and Infantry Schools. He is a 
graduate of the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College and the 
U.S. Army War College.
  General Jackson and his wife, Lahoma reside in Jupiter, Florida. His 
son Wayne Jr. and two daughters, Jacky and Jennifer, four grandchildren 
and 2 great grandchildren also reside in Jupiter. In the tradition of 
his father, his son Wayne Jr., is also retired from the U.S. Army.
  General Jackson has lived a life of excellence and of many great 
accomplishments both in the military and as a civilian. Mr. Speaker, 
that is why I am honoring General Jackson and thank him for his many 
years of service to our country. I have no doubt that he will continue 
to accomplish great things in the years to come.
