             RECOGNIZING MAJOR GENERAL CHRISTOPHER DONAHUE

  (Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Major General Christopher Donahue, the commander of the 82nd Airborne 
Division and the last American soldier to leave Afghanistan.
  A native of Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, and as an officer in our 
Nation's special forces, General Donahue has devoted his life to the 
service of our Nation.
  During the global war on terrorism, General Donohue has led soldiers 
in both Iraq and Afghanistan. He has always put his soldiers and their 
mission first. As the final soldier in Afghanistan, General Donahue 
showed his devotion to our Nation yet again.
  This man is a leader, and our Nation is well-served with him

our airborne division. I am grateful for General Donahue and for all of 
the brave soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines who have served in 
Afghanistan. Their service has made our Nation more secure. No 
political decision can take away what their service has meant.
