                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, July 27, 2026

  Mr. HUDSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the career of a 
warrior, hero, and extraordinary patriot, General Chris Donahue.
  General Donahue attended the United States Military Academy at West 
Point, New York and was commissioned in 1992. Throughout his 
prestigious career, General Donahue has deployed over 20 times in 
support of numerous operations including: Iraqi Freedom, Enduring 
Freedom, New Dawn, Inherent Resolve, Atlantic Resolve, Freedom's 
Sentinel, European Assure, Deter and Reinforce, and in support of the 
Sudan crisis.
  In addition to these deployments, General Donahue served as the 39th 
Commander of the XVIII Airborne Corps at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, 
Commander of the 82nd Airborne Division, and most recently as Commander 
of U.S. Army Europe and Africa.
  I had the pleasure of working alongside General Donahue during his 
time at Fort Bragg. During this time, we worked hand-in-hand to support 
the installation, improve readiness, soldier lethality, and build 
better lives for the servicemembers and their families who called the 
base home. I am proud to call General Donahue my friend and grateful 
for his service to our Nation.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me today in thanking General Donahue and 
commending the remarkable contributions he made to both the United 
States Army and our country throughout his career.
