IN RECOGNITION OF MAJOR WILLIAM ``BILL'' J. GOLEMBIEWSKI

Mr. BISHOP of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to Major
William ``Bill'' J. Golembiewski for his exemplary dedication to duty
and service as an Army Congressional Fellow and Congressional Budget
Liaison for the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Financial Management
and Comptroller). Major Golembiewski is transitioning from his present
assignment to serve as an operations officer for the 3rd U.S. Infantry
Regiment, The Old Guard.

A native of Southern California, Major Golembiewski was commissioned
as an infantry officer after his graduation from California State
University, Fullerton with a Bachelor of Science degree. He also has a
Master's degree in Legislative Affairs from the George Washington
University.

Golembiewski has served in a broad range of assignments during his
Army career. He served as the Alpha Company and later as the Heavy
Weapons Airborne Platoon Leader for the 173rd Airborne Brigade in
Vicenza, Italy. As the Heavy Weapons Platoon Leader, Major Golembiewski
deployed to Afghanistan in 2007. After his tour, Major Golembiewski was
assigned to Southern California, where he served as the operations
officer for the U.S. Army Recruiting Battalion--Southern California and
later commanded the Riverside Company in the U.S. Army Recruiting
Battalion.

In 2012, Major Golembiewski left for his second deployment to
Afghanistan where he commanded the Bravo Troop, 6-1 Cavalry of the 1st
Striker Brigade Combat Team. After two successful company command
assignments, he served as an operations officer for the 1st Striker
Brigade, 1st Armor Division. In that assignment he was nominated and
selected for the U.S. Army Congressional Fellowship Program.

In 2015, as an Army Congressional Fellow, I had the privilege of
working with Major Golembiewski in my office for a year and during his
subsequent assignment as a Congressional Budget Liaison for the U.S.
Army. Major Golembiewski worked tirelessly with Members of Congress and
their staffs to accurately articulate the Army's budget positions to
the Appropriations Committees. His professionalism, diligence, and
commitment to the mission are unmatched, and his work both as a fellow
and as a liaison very effectively represented the U.S. Army and the
Department of Defense to the United States Congress.

The foundation of Major Golembiewski military success is his family.
He is a devoted husband to his wife, Ginger, and committed father to
his daughter, Sienna, and his son, Grant. The Golembiewski family's
commitment to this nation is a testament of the Army's values. They
best exemplify the spirit of selfless service, and their care for
others permeates in every aspects of their lives.

Throughout his career, Major Golembiewski has positively impacted
soldiers, peers, and superiors. Our country has benefited tremendously
from his extraordinary leadership, judgment, and passion. I join my
colleagues today in honoring his dedication to our Nation and
invaluable service to the United States Congress as an Army
Congressional Liaison.

Mr. Speaker, it has been a genuine pleasure to have worked with Major
Bill Golembiewski over the last three years. On behalf of a grateful
nation, I join my colleagues today in recognizing and commending Bill
for his service to our country, and we wish him all the best as he
continues his service in the United States Army.
