HONORING MR. JAMES MCINGVALE

______

HON. STEVEN M. PALAZZO

of mississippi

in the house of representatives

Wednesday, June 30, 2021

Mr. PALAZZO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the outstanding work of Mr. James W. Mcingvale who is retiring from Ingalls shipyard after more than four decades of service to South Mississippi.

Jim is a native of Batesville, Mississippi, and is a 1976 graduate of The University of Mississippi. He resides in Pascagoula with his wife, Nancy, with whom he will celebrate 45 years of marriage in August of this year. Their daughter, Brooke, will be the first to tell you that her father has been the ultimate role model and mentor in her life. She grew up understanding the value of hard work and dedication as she truly was a part of the Ingalls family. Some of her favorite memories are from attending the revered tradition of Naval ship christenings, as well as meeting the ships sponsors and guests.

Jim began his career at Ingalls in 1977 as a photographer and has progressed through the years to various positions of increasing responsibility. Jim, has been a tireless advocate for America's naval supremacy on the high seas, through shipbuilding which helped to improve the quality of life for all Mississippians.

Jim's list of accomplishments is extensive, a few highlights from his career include being a founding member of The Mississippi Military Communities Council (MMCC), and most recently, serving as the organization's chairman. In 2012, he was appointed by Governor Phil Bryant as a commissioner of GoCoast 2020, charged with defining how key priorities and leveraged resources can help overcome challenges faced by the Coast in the aftermath of the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill. He is most proud of the impact made on the Gulf Coast while serving alongside Governor Haley Barbour following Hurricane Katrina.

Although, he is retiring from Ingalls Shipyard, we are fortunate that he will remain an active leader in our community. Jim, congratulations on your well-deserved retirement. On behalf of Mississippi's Fourth Congressional District, I thank Jim for his service.
