On the recordNovember 26, 2012
on behalf of the Maryland Congressional delegation, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate GEN Dennis Via on his promotion to four-star general officer and his assignment as the commanding general, U.S. Army Materiel Command. We note with pride that he is the first Army Signal Corps officer in history to achieve the U.S. Army's highest rank. We in Maryland remain indebted to General Via for his innovative and flawless leadership during the U.S. Army Communications and Electronics Command's move to Maryland's Aberdeen Proving Ground as part of the BRAC 2005 process. The Army and Nation are blessed by his extraordinary service in uniform. ____________________
