                   RECOGNIZING COLONEL TIMOTHY HOLMAN

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. TRENT KELLY

                             of mississippi

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 11, 2019

  Mr. KELLY of Mississippi. Madam Speaker, today I recognize Colonel 
Timothy Holman of the United States Army for his extraordinary 
dedication and service to our Nation. Colonel Holman will soon 
transition from his current assignment as the Chief of the United 
States Army House Liaison Division in the House of Representatives to 
the Deputy for the Army's Unity and Inclusion Office.
   With an impressive and proven record of leadership, including combat 
tours in Iraq as the Brigade Operations Officer of the 130th Engineer 
Brigade and in Afghanistan as the Battalion Commander of the 54th 
Engineer Battalion, Tim was chosen to serve as the Chief of the House 
Liaison Division in 2017 after serving as a Chief of Staff of the Army 
Senior Fellow with the Center for a New American Security. Colonel 
Holman's outstanding work led to him being selected as the Chief of the 
United States Army House Liaison Division. His first-hand knowledge of 
the military, its culture, and traditions was a tremendous benefit to 
Army senior leaders and Congressional offices. Tim was especially 
effective in his service to Members and staff as he escorted them on 
fact-finding and oversight delegations within the United States and 
around the world.
   Recently, Colonel Holman led a CODEL to the 75th Anniversary of the 
D-Day landing at Normandy, the largest CODEL of this type on record. 
His expert planning, attention to detail, and love of travel enabled 
exceptional visits for fifty-eight Members of Congress and their staff. 
I found him to be a thoughtful, intelligent, and a professional soldier 
in the best traditions of America's Armed Forces. Madam Speaker, it has 
been a pleasure to work with Colonel Holman during his tenure as the 
Chief of the United States Army House Liaison Division in the House of 
Representatives.
   On behalf of a grateful Nation, it is my honor to recognize the 
selfless service and sacrifice of a fellow Mississippian, Colonel 
Timothy Holman, and his wife, B.J. Holman. I wish them the very best.
