  Ms. DAVIDS of Kansas. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Major 
Jacob D. McElwee for his service in the Kansas Army

National Guard and his recent role in sending out troops to Topeka and 
Washington, D.C. this month to provide additional security support for 
the inauguration.
  A resident of the Third District in Shawnee, Major McElwee became a 
commissioned Judge Advocate General Corps Officer in the Kansas Army 
National Guard in September 2010. During his service as a Judge 
Advocate General Corps Officer, Major McElwee deployed to Kosovo in 
2014 through 2015 and then again to Kuwait and Iraq in 2018 through 
2019.
  Major McElwee is currently the legal advisor to the Adjutant General 
Major General David Weishaar. As a fulltime Kansas Army National Guard 
Judge Advocate General, Major McElwee handles a non-stop flow of 
requests and questions, while ensuring the highest quality work product 
possible. He dropped everything to travel to Salina with another 
officer and two paralegals to help with the rolling out of troops to 
protect our state and national capitols.
  One of the most rewarding parts of representing the Third District is 
hearing about the exemplary service and accomplishments of my 
constituents. Major McElwee is certainly no exception and I commend him 
for his dedication to our state and country.
