             RECOGNIZING MAJOR GENERAL TIMOTHY P. WILLIAMS

  (Ms. SPANBERGER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. SPANBERGER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Major 
General Timothy P. Williams.
  For the last 9 years, Major General Williams has served as the 28th 
adjutant general of Virginia, displaying an unparalleled dedication to 
the men and women of the Virginia National Guard, the Virginia Air 
National Guard, and the Virginia Defense Force.
  He has built a reputation of steady leadership in a time so often 
marked by turbulence.
  His soldiers and airmen were on the front lines of the COVID-19 
crisis, completing more than 1,100 missions in response to the 
pandemic.
  During his tenure, the Virginia National Guard deployed to the U.S. 
Capitol following the January 6 insurrection. Later that year, his 
servicemembers helped to evacuate thousands of our Afghan allies to 
safety.
  Under the leadership of Major General Williams, Virginia soldiers 
have also deployed to Kuwait, the Horn of Africa, Iraq, Syria, Kosovo, 
and many more places.
  While Major General Williams will officially retire on July 1, I am 
confident that his service is not done, and I am confident that his 
resiliency, his devotion to duty, and his fervent patriotism will 
continue to inspire generations of brave Virginians who wish to lead 
from the front as he continues his service to our Commonwealth and the 
country.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in extending our country's gratitude to 
Major General Timothy P. Williams for his service.
