                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 12, 2023

  Mr. HIGGINS of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Lieutenant General Matthew G. Glavy, who serves his country with the 
pride and honor befitting the highest ranks of the United States Marine 
Corps.
  Born in 1963 at Mercy Hospital in Buffalo, New York, Lieutenant 
General Matthew Glavy grew up with his 3 siblings under the name 
``Jerry.'' Calling Western New York home, Lieutenant General Glavy 
finds comfort in Buffalo style wings, the Buffalo Bills, and the cold 
winter climate of Western New York. As a child, Lieutenant General 
Matthew Glavy was an avid sports fan, having played youth league 
football in his childhood, later lettering in cross country and track 
in high school before graduating in 1981.
  Lieutenant General Glavy exemplifies every aspect of courage, 
determination, and service denominated in the timeless motto of the 
Marine Corps, ``Semper Fi.'' having served in all 3 designations: the 
operating forces, the supporting establishment, and in the 
headquarters. As a member of the operating forces and supporting 
establishment, Lieutenant General Glavy served ``at the heart of the 
Marine Corps'' in various assignments, including as an aircraft 
maintenance officer, weapons and tactics officer and embark officer, 
and current operations officer, eventually climbing the ranks to 
commanding general and U.S. Marine Corps Forces Cyberspace Command and 
Space Command. General Glavy also supported his troops, his country, 
and his family, in the USMC Headquarters, where he served, among many 
impressive assignments, as platoon commander, White House liaison 
officer, and presidential command pilot. Lieutenant General Glavy 
currently serves as the Deputy Commandant for Information and 2nd 
Commander of the Marine Corps Forces Strategic Command. Lieutenant 
General Glavy will be returning to the Buffalo area as the keynote 
speaker at the reunion of the 3rd Battalion, 26th Marines.
  Today, I'm asking all present to join me in honoring Lieutenant 
General Matthew G. Glavy for his lengthy service and dedication to our 
great Nation.
