“Mr. President, today I wish to recognize and honor the distinguished career of U.S. Army Reserve COL Gregory A. Scheidhauer as he retires from his nearly three decades of service to our Nation. Dedication to his country and commitment to his fellow servicemembers are qualities that define Greg's career, and his years of effort have made lasting improvements to our Nation's defense. Born in Silver Spring, MD, Greg went on to attend Bowie High School and, later, West Virginia University, where he earned his bachelor of science degree in sports management in 1990. He joined the Army ROTC program at West Virginia University in 1988 and began his military service upon graduation, commissioning in 1990. In 2009, Greg joined my office in the House of Representatives as a defense fellow, where he served alongside my staff for the year. His expertise, assistance, and advice were invaluable to the team, and our office, as well as all Hoosiers, greatly benefitted from his work. After his service in my office, Colonel Scheidhauer became a legislative liaison for the Office of the Chief of Army Reserve at Fort Belvoir. In 2010, Greg deployed to Iraq and served as the director of logistics for the Joint Forces Special Operations Component Command- Iraq, JSOCC-I, during Operation Iraq Freedom and Operation New Dawn.
