Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Panama City, Florida, native Major General Patrick D. Sargent for assuming command of the U.S. Army Health Readiness Center of Excellence at Fort Sam Houston. I had the pleasure of meeting General Sargent last year in Washington. He has had a decorated Army career, serving our country for more than three decades. He grew up in Bay County and attended Florida State University before joining the Army in 1985. General Sargent is board certified in healthcare administration, and he is a medevac pilot. He has been a leader in providing healthcare to our troops for many years. He was in charge of all medical care in Iraq as the Commander of the Medical Task Force Iraq. In his own words, he has worked to bring humanity to the battlefield, and I believe he will brilliantly continue that work in his new post. Mr. Speaker, please join me in congratulating Major General Patrick Sargent on his new posting. ____________________”
