                        Tuesday, March 29, 2022

  Mr. KELLY of Mississippi. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate 
the retirement of Lieutenant Colonel Glenn Adams after 32 years of 
service to the United States and the State of Mississippi. I thank him 
for his dedication and wish him well in this new chapter.
  Over the course of his career, Lieutenant Colonel Adams has served in 
every leadership role within the Commissioned Officer Ranks, from a 
Bradley Track Commander to the 155th Armored Brigade Combat Team 
Executive Officer. He enlisted into the Mississippi Army National Guard 
on March 25, 1989 in Det 1, Headquarters Company, 1-198th Armor, 
Fulton, MS. LTC Adams served as an NCO until March 1992 and was 
commissioned as a 2LT in August 1992 as an Armor Officer. He received 
his baccalaureate degree in history from the Mississippi University for 
Women in 1995. He then served as the executive officer and then 
Commander for Co C, 1st BN, 198th Armor Regiment from October 2000 to 
September 2003. He was hired into the Active Guard Reserve program on 
March 15, 2006.
  LTC Adams was deployed twice in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom 
from 2004 to 2005 and 2009 to 2010. During the 2009 deployment I had 
the honor of serving alongside LTC Adams. LTC Adams served as my 
Operations Officer and was always a consummate professional that 
embodies the qualities expected of our commissioned officer corps. 
Accordingly, he was awarded the Bronze Star for his contributions. 
After returning from deployment, he served at the Mississippi National 
Guard Joint Force Headquarters from September 2012 until September 
2017. LTC Adams mobilized again from June 2018 to March 2019 in support 
of Operation lnherent Resolve. When he returned, he served as the 155th 
Armored Brigade Combat Team Executive Officer and the full-time 
Administrative Officer.

  Glenn also served his community and state outside of the Armed 
Services. For nearly three decades, he officiated football at the high 
school and collegiate level. Most recently, he officiated with the 
Mississippi Community College, Gulf South, and Great American 
Conferences.
  LTC Adams celebrates one of the most storied careers in the 
Mississippi National Guard, and I am grateful for his 32 years of 
service to our state and this Nation. I have the upmost respect and 
admiration for Glenn and am happy to call him a friend and brother in 
arms.
