Maryland Senate Salutes Senator J.B. Jennings
Dear Kevin,


On Thursday, the Maryland Senate paid tribute to its members who have served in the military. Senators also conducted a ceremony to remember Maryland's Fallen Heroes from 2010. 

At the end of the ceremony, a warm and lengthy standing ovation was given to Senator J.B. Jennings who currently serves in the Maryland Air National Guard and was recently called up for a training mission.

"As a caucus, we're proud and thankful that Sen. Jennings has chosen to help defend our country," said Senate Republican Leader Nancy Jacobs, R-Harford-Cecil.  "It may be inconvenient timing, but just like thousands of others he has answered the call to protect our nation during our fight in the global war on terror."

As an airman first class, Sen. Jennings has been called to duty for a federal training mission at Robbins Air Force Base in Georgia.  As a master load specialist, he will be trained on the new C27 Spartan cargo plane.  This deployment will begin on Jan. 30 and conclude on April 30.

"We will miss the calm and thoughtful approach of Sen. Jennings on the Senate Floor.  We appreciate and commend our fellow senator's pledge to serve our country," commented Senate Minority Whip EJ Pipkin, R-Upper Shore.

As the 2011 session progresses, Sen. Jennings is expected to adjust his training schedule to return to the State House for key votes.

The Senate Republican Caucus offers its sincerest best wishes to J.B. for a safe and successful deployment.
