                        CHAPLAIN STEVEN COLWELL

  (Mr. KIND asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KIND. Mr. Speaker, I thank the Speaker for the opportunity to say 
a few words about our guest chaplain today. I am proud that the 
inspiring words heard this morning came from one of my constituents, 
Chaplain Steven Colwell. He serves as staff minister at the Army 
Reserve Readiness Training Center at Fort McCoy, Wisconsin.
  At Fort McCoy, Chaplain Colwell is the primary instructor on ethics 
and Army values training. In addition, he provides spiritual guidance 
and counseling to the more than 100,000 soldiers who come to Fort McCoy 
to train every year. The support that Chaplain Colwell provides to the 
military personnel and their families is invaluable. Chaplain Colwell 
has received numerous military honors, including the Army Commendation 
Medal with two Oak Leaf Clusters, the Kuwait Liberation Medal, and the 
South West Asia Service Medal with three Bronze Stars.
  Chaplain Colwell has provided tremendous service to his community as 
well as our country. I am fortunate to have him as a constituent and 
pleased that he could share his inspiring words with us today. I thank 
Chaplain Colwell for being here today and for his service and 
dedication to our country.
