Madam Speaker, I was grateful last month to visit one of the privatized hotels of the Army at Fort Jackson, managed by the InterContinental Hotels Group. IHG has worked to revitalize Army lodging to provide improved facilities for Army travelers and their families by supporting 40 major installations globally. Significant progress has been made under the leadership of President Donald Trump. Many of the 370,000 guests and family members of basic combat training graduates who come to Fort Jackson are served every year by these hotels. More than 1 million guests have stayed at the Holiday Inn Express at Fort Jackson since 2013. This has saved $84 million and employs 100 personnel directed by Chuck Sourbeer. I support reforms for servicemembers and their families to have the same world-class hospitality experience that Fort Jackson provides. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________
