  Mr. THANEDAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Colonel 
Promotable Fred A. Hockett, Jr., a constituent of Michigan's 13th 
District, on his promotion to Brigadier General in the United States 
Army Reserve.
  His military career started in 1987 as an Army Reserve Infantryman 
with the 70th Division. He later transitioned to active duty with the 
4th Infantry Division at Ft. Carson, Colorado. After attending the 
United States Military Academy Prep School and the United States 
Military Academy at West Point, he was commissioned as a Second 
Lieutenant of Infantry. Serving in various leadership, command, and 
staff positions, he currently serves as the Deputy Commanding Officer 
for Support for the U.S. Army Recruiting Command, Fort Knox, Kentucky.
  Colonel Promotable Hockett has been recognized for distinguished 
performance of duty that represents exemplary achievement in the finest 
traditions of the United States of America.
  Throughout his career, his leadership has positively impacted the 
lives of countless service members. There is no doubt that his service 
and achievements will have a lasting impact on the Army's future 
ability to protect and defend the freedoms guaranteed by the United 
States Constitution. I am humbled to offer him the thanks and 
congratulations of a grateful Nation.
