  HONORING MAJOR GENERAL GREGORY LUSK FOR 40 YEARS OF MILITARY SERVICE

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. RICHARD HUDSON

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, December 16, 2019

  Mr. HUDSON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Major General Greg 
Lusk for 40 years of military service. Appointed by North Carolina 
Governor Beverly Perdue, Major General Lusk has served as the 40th 
Adjutant General for the North Carolina National Guard since 2010.
  Over the years, Major General Lusk has answered historic calls to 
duty on behalf of our nation and state. He began his extraordinary 
career as a project officer with the 120th Infantry and retires today 
as Adjutant General for the North Carolina National Guard.
  Major General Lusk served as the principal military advisor to North 
Carolina Governors Beverly Perdue, Pat McCrory, and Roy Cooper and led 
nearly 12,000 soldiers and airmen and over 18,000 full-time federal and 
state employees across our state. His leadership transformed the North 
Carolina National Guard from a strategic force to an operational 
reserve force and built readiness and reliability across all units. 
Described by colleagues as a Soldier's General, he has saved countless 
lives in his response to historic hurricanes, floods, winter storms, 
and periods of civil unrest.
  A decorated public servant, Major General Lusk represents the best 
our nation has to offer and we will look up to his leadership for 
generations to come. I know I speak for everyone in the great state of 
North Carolina when I say we are truly grateful for his tireless 
service and cannot thank him enough. I would like to offer my most 
heartfelt appreciation and wish him a long and happy retirement.
  Madam Speaker, please join me today in honoring Major General Greg 
Lusk for his 40 years of military service.
