                           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 Shelia Robinson of 
Marietta, Georgia.
  Between active duty and service in the Georgia Army National Guard, 
Shelia spent more than 22 years serving our country and the State of 
Georgia. From 1995-2005 while in the Guard as a Master Sergeant, she 
worked in the Counterdrug Program and helped manage an annual budget of 
$3 million.
  Upon retiring from Active Federal military service, Ms. Robinson 
worked as the Administrative Assistant for the Director of Georgia's 
Office of Homeland Security where she gained the respect of numerous 
state agency heads for her professionalism, courtesy, and overall 
knowledge.
  After three years with Homeland Security, Ms. Robinson returned to 
the Georgia National Guard in the capacity of Office Manager for the 
Adjutant General of Georgia.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to please join me in thanking Shelia 
Robinson for her service to our nation and the people of Cobb County.
