                    HONORING MAJOR CRAIG A. OVERHOLT

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. DONALD NORCROSS

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 6, 2022

  Mr. NORCROSS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Major Craig A. 
Overholt as he retires from the United States Army. For over two 
decades, Major Overholt's commitment to service has enabled him to 
excel in numerous leadership positions throughout the Army, including 
most recently as an Army Legislative Liaison.
  Major Overholt's career began when he enlisted in the United States 
Army in 2002. He received his commission as a Quartermaster Officer in 
2011 after graduating as the Distinguished Military Graduate from the 
Georgia Southern University ROTC program. Since then, he developed a 
reputation as a tactical and technical expert, who has served in the 
most demanding assignments in the Army, including multiple deployments 
to Iraq and Afghanistan.
  I had the distinct honor of hosting Major Overholt as a Defense 
Fellow in my office. While serving as my Defense Fellow and as a 
Legislative Liaison, Craig's interpersonal skills and character enabled 
him to clearly communicate priorities, ensuring members were educated 
on Army combat systems, modernization programs, and policy initiatives. 
Due to his exceptional work on military childcare, the Military 
Officers Association of America awarded him the Colonel Paul W. Arcari 
Meritorious Service Award, an award that honors congressional staffers 
who have made significant contributions to the military community. 
Craig also led multiple Congressional Delegations to various locations 
around the globe, distinguishing himself by continuously going above 
and beyond the call of duty to serve the needs of Congress.
  This Chamber will feel Major Overholt's absence. On behalf of a 
grateful nation, I thank Major Craig Overholt for his outstanding 
leadership and remarkable sacrifices during his time in the Army 
Legislative Liaison Office and United States Army. I truly appreciate 
Craig and his family for their unwavering support to our Army, our 
Soldiers, and our Nation, and I wish him the best in all his future 
endeavors.
