                 RECOGNIZING LIEUTENANT GENERAL QUINTAS

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Major 
General Lee Quintas for his service to our Nation with the 3rd Infantry 
Division at Fort Stewart.
  On June 17, Major General Quintas departed to be the Deputy 
Commanding General for the U.S. Army Forces Command at Fort Bragg. 
However, he is leaving both Fort Stewart and the First Congressional 
District of Georgia in a better place.
  Major General Quintas' colleagues admire him as an extraordinary 
leader with extensive experience who ensures soldiers and units are 
ready for any mission.
  During his 30 years of service with the United States military, he 
has done everything, from deploying in Iraq to leading the 3rd ID in 
hurricane response missions in Georgia.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank Major General Quintas for his service to our 
Nation and the First Congressional District of Georgia. He has been a 
great leader for the 3rd Infantry Division.
  Mr. Speaker, I wish Major General Quintas the best of luck in his new 
position at Fort Bragg.
