  Mr. HUDSON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and congratulate 
Lieutenant General Paul LaCamera for his recent nomination for 
promotion and selection of General of United States Army Pacific.
  Since 2018, LTG LaCamera has been the Commanding General of both the 
XVII Airborne Corps and Fort Bragg, located in North Carolina's 8th 
Congressional District. Throughout his time at Fort Bragg he has shown 
profound leadership and unwavering dedication to protect our nation.
  LTG LaCamera received a Bachelor of Science from the U.S. Military 
Academy and a Master of Arts degree from the U.S. Naval War College. 
After graduating from West Point in 1985, he was commissioned as an 
Infantry Officer and has proven time and again to be a natural leader 
with an incredible drive and work ethic. His past assignments include 
service with the 82d Airborne Division, Fort Bragg, North Carolina; 1st 
Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, Hunter Army Airfield, Georgia; 4th 
Ranger Training Battalion and the 75th Ranger Regiment, Fort Benning, 
Georgia; 2d Infantry Division, Eighth United States Army, Republic of 
Korea; 10th Mountain Division (Light), Fort Drum, New York; 25th 
Infantry Division, Schofield Barracks, Hawaii; U.S. Army Special 
Operations Command, Fort Bragg, North Carolina; 4th Infantry Division, 
Fort Carson, Colorado; and the Office of Security Cooperation, Baghdad, 
Iraq.
  I know I speak for everyone in the Fort Bragg community when I say he 
will be missed but is well deserving of this promotion. I wish him, his 
wife Theresa, and their four children the best of luck as they embark 
on this new adventure in service to our nation.
  Madam Speaker, please join me today in honoring LTG Paul LaCamera and 
his nomination for promotion and selection of General of United States 
Army Pacific.
