                      Thursday, September 12, 2024

  Mr. GUEST. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Major General 
Bobby M. Ginn, Jr. on his new role as the Adjutant General of the 
Mississippi National Guard.
  Major General Bobby Ginn was appointed by Governor Tate Reeves on 
August 1, 2024. From Tylertown, Mississippi, Major General Bobby Ginn 
has a long history of military tradition. His grandfather served in 
WWI, and his father served in WWII, both mobilizing through Camp 
Shelby, Mississippi--the very same military post that Major General 
Ginn commanded from July 2017 through November 2020.
  Ginn has over 34 years of service in the Armed Forces. He started his 
career in 1990 as an enlisted soldier and was commissioned as a 
Logistics Officer in 1993 through Officer Candidate School. He became a 
Supply Officer for Headquarters and Headquarters Co., 114th Area 
Support Group, and then was assigned as a platoon leader in 1994 of the 
367th Maintenance Company--a unit he later commanded. Ginn has 
completed many critical assignments, including playing a vital role in 
the response effort after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. He answered the 
call in 2007-2008 when he was deployed overseas during Operation Iraqi 
Freedom. In 2017, he was appointed commander at Camp Shelby and, most 
recently, Deputy Chief of Staff for Logistics. Ginn earned a B.S. from 
the University of Southern Mississippi and a Master of Strategic 
Studies degree from the United States Army War College.
  Major General Ginn is a decorated officer having earned the Bronze 
Star, the Meritorious Service Medal, the Iraqi Campaign Medal, the 
Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, the Humanitarian Service Medal, 
a Meritorious Unit Commendation, and many other commendations.
  I am proud of his appointment as the new Adjutant General of the 
Mississippi National Guard. His service both to our Nation and the 
State of Mississippi are well recognized, and I am thankful for his 
leadership. Major General Bobby Ginn is a true American patriot.
