               RECOGNIZING THE RETIREMENT OF JIMMY JOHNS

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. MIKE ROGERS

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 18, 2025

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
retirement of Jimmy Johns from Elbit America. Prior to his work with 
Elbit America, Jimmy served in the United States Marine Corps from 1979 
to 1983. Following his honorable service to our country, he joined 
International Enterprises (now known as Elbit America) as a Technical 
Assistant.
  Jimmy has been a fixture at Elbit America for over 42 years working 
up to be the site lead for the entire Talladega operation. In this 
capacity, he oversees over 150 employees.
  Elbit America is a treasured part of the Talladega community 
generating over $150 million in revenue every year. Under Jimmy's 
leadership, Elbit has prospered and regularly gives back to the 
community generously.
  Jimmy's colleagues are extremely grateful for his leadership and 
friendship over the many years he has served with them, and his 
presence will be dearly missed.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in recognizing Jimmy Johns for his many 
years of service and wishing him the best in retirement. I congratulate 
Jimmy.
