            TRIBUTE TO MASTER SERGEANT STERLING T. WIMBERLY

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. PHIL GINGREY

                               of georgia

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, February 17, 2011

  Mr. GINGREY of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, in celebration of Black History 
Month, I want to continue recognizing African Americans from throughout 
Georgia's 11th Congressional District who have had a major impact on 
their community. Today, I rise to recognize Master Sergeant Sterling T. 
Wimberly of Dallas, Georgia. MSG Wimberly is currently serving in an 
Active Guard Reserve role as the Senior Supply NCO for the 78th 
Aviation Troop Command.
  There are over 700 soldiers in this command and because of MSG 
Wimberly's efforts, expertise, and dedication to Georgia Army National 
Guard Aviation, all units either passed or exceeded standards this past 
spring during the Forces Command Aviation Resource Management Survey 
inspection.
  MSG Wimberly has also completed a tour in Afghanistan with a Georgia 
ARNG Infantry Embedded Training Team. Through this experience--and by 
participating in pre-mobilization validation training exercises--MSG 
Wimberly has developed an advanced ability to plan, coordinate, and 
execute complex logistic/supply operations.
  He is an invaluable professional soldier whose dedication to mission 
accomplishment makes him worthy of recognition as a leader in the 
community, the National Guard, and our great nation.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in thanking Master Sergeant Sterling 
T. Wimberly for his service and his commitment to the betterment of his 
community.
