CONGRATULATING RANDAL S. JERNIGAN
(Mr. HILL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Marine Sergeant
Major Randal S. Jernigan, the United States Marine Corps JROTC from my
alma mater, Catholic High School for Boys, in Little Rock on a very
happy and healthy retirement.
Jernigan retired from the Marine Corps where he served in a variety
of roles. Upon his retirement, Jernigan returned to his Ohio hometown
where he began a teaching career.
Ten years later, Jernigan was hired to lead the Catholic High School
JROTC program. After a short time, Jernigan took over the school's
physical fitness team where during his first 3 years, Jernigan had
delivered three-peat national titles.
This year, Jernigan and his team of cadets took home another national
title, but this time it was different. Jernigan and his cadets received
the 2022 National Title on Catholic's home field for the first time.
In all, Jernigan led nine different teams at Catholic High School to
national titles, plus two more teams from Mount St. Mary Academy.
As school begins in a few weeks, we will miss seeing Sergeant Major
Jernigan on campus.
Mr. Speaker, I thank Sergeant Major Jernigan for his service and
dedication for our hardworking students. His impact is recognized and
lasting.
