TO RECOGNIZE AND 
HONOR MAJOR CHRISTINA C. HARRIS, USAF, UPON THE OCCASION OF HER RETIREMENT 
AFTER TWENTY YEARS OF EXEMPLARY SERVICE TO HER COUNTRY, AND TO WISH HER 
CONTINUED SUCCESS AND HAPPINESS IN ALL HER FUTURE ENDEAVORS. 

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina General Assembly have learned that Major Christina C. Harris 
will begin a well-deserved retirement on May 1, 2025, after two decades of 
skilled leadership and distinguished service to the United States Air Force; 
and

Whereas, a Charleston 
native, Ms. Harris graduated from Goose Creek High School and continued her 
education at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado, 
graduating in 2005 with a bachelor's degree in humanities. She furthered her 
education at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia, earning a master's 
degree in professional counseling and psychology. She is a nationally 
certified counselor and a licensed professional counselor associate in South 
Carolina; and

Whereas, Maj. Harris 
began her military career in 2005 as the Officer-In-Charge, Customer Support, 
with 11th Mission Support Squadron at the Pentagon. Her storied career would 
later include deployments to the United Arab Emirates and Qatar. Throughout 
her military career, she held a multitude of executive positions: deputy 
regional director at the United States Air Force Academy; deputy sexual assault 
response coordinator, 42nd Air Base Wing, Maxwell AFB, Alabama; director, 
manpower and personnel, USAF Warfare Center, Nellis AFB, Nevada; operations 
officer, 99th Force Support Squadron, Nellis AFB; and deputy commander, 379th 
Expeditionary Force Support Squadron, Al Udeid AB, Qatar. Since 2020, she has 
served as headquarters section commander of the Ninth Air Force (Air Forces

Whereas, Maj. Harris 
has garnered numerous honors for her remarkable service, multiple achievements, 
and scores of contributions to her country. She was the Air Force Central

with three Oak Leaf Clusters, Air and Space Commendation Medal with two Oak 
Leaf Clusters, Air and Space Outstanding Unit Award with six Oak Leaf Clusters, 
National Defense Service Medal, Humanitarian Service Medal, and Air and Space 
Longevity Service Award with five Oak Leaf Clusters are just a few of the 
major's other awards. With her extensive experience in leadership and 
management of large, diverse, military and civilian organizations, the major is 
adept at conflict resolution and problem solving. Her life's mission is to 
nurture others to thrive; and

Whereas, Major Harris 
is the proud mother of three wonderful boys, Jeremiah, Isaiah, and Elijah. She 
plans to spend her retirement years enjoying time with her family and 
continuing service to the veteran and service member population by offering 
mental health benefits using protocols such as equine psychotherapy, eye 
movement desensitization and reprocessing, art therapy, and talk therapy; and

Whereas, grateful for 
her many years of distinguished service to the United States military, the 
members of the South Carolina General Assembly take great pleasure in extending 
best wishes to Major Christina C. Harris as she transitions to a richly 
deserved retirement. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate 
concurring:

That the members of the South Carolina General 
Assembly, by this resolution, recognize and honor Major Christina C. Harris, 
USAF, upon the occasion of her retirement after twenty years of exemplary
