         TRIBUTE TO COMMAND SERGEANT MAJOR DOUGLAS M. GREENWAY

                                 ______
                                 

                      HON. SANFORD D. BISHOP, JR.

                               of georgia

                    in the house of representatives

                         Wednesday, May 2, 2007

  Mr. BISHOP of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Command 
Sergeant Major Douglas M. Greenway of Ft. Benning, GA. The Command 
Sergeant Major for the U.S. Army's Infantry School, he will soon retire 
from the Army after a long career of distinguished service.
  CSM Greenway entered the Army in 1979, completed Basic Training at 
Fort Knox, Kentucky and Advanced Individual Training at Fort Benning, 
GA. He graduated from Sergeants Major Academy Class 50 and completed 
all levels of the Non-Commissioned Officer Educational System, NCOES, 
including the Sergeants Major Academy and Command Sergeants Major 
Course.
  CSM Greenway also has honorably and dutifully served his country in 
several posts, both stateside and abroad, including Operation Enduring 
Freedom in Afghanistan and Operation Just Cause in Panama.
  Concurrent with his service, CSM Greenway has been honored with 
numerous awards and medals, most notably the Legion of Merit, the 
Meritorious Service Medal, the Army Achievement Medal, the Ranger Tab, 
the Master Parachutists Badge, and Drill Sergeants Badge.
  In addition to his many years of service, honors, medals, and 
commendations from countless colleagues, last month CSM Greenway made 
history: he and his son, Brandon, were the first father and son team to 
compete in the Best Ranger Competition, a grueling competition held 
every year at Fort Benning that demands exceptional navigational skill, 
great physical strength and a keen intellect.
  Madam Speaker, at this time in our nation's history, we are in need 
of leaders, of individuals who step forward and exemplify the concept 
of ``service above self.'' We need more people like Command Sergeant 
Major Douglas M. Greenway.
  It is an honor to recognize him here today. I humbly thank him for 
his service and for his contribution, not just to Fort Benning, but to 
the United States of America.
