  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise before this body of Congress and 
this nation today to pay tribute to a remarkable woman from my 
district. Dorothy Faught of Cortez, Colorado just celebrated her 80th 
birthday. As her family and friends mark the occasion, I would like to 
honor Dorothy here today.
  Dorothy Faught has spent decades caring for others in her career as a 
nurse. In fact, Dorothy has been working in the healing profession 
since 1945, having started by treating soldiers returning from World 
War II. Dorothy has spent her first 30 years as the head nurse in the 
intensive care units in Detroit, Michigan. She went on to continue her 
career as the Director of Nursing at the Cortez hospital. Dorothy 
continues her career to this day, working at Southwest Home Health. Her 
love and knowledge of nursing has won the praise from her colleagues 
and patients. Dorothy has passed down her enthusiasm for the profession 
to her two daughters and serves as a role model to others serving in 
health care.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to give praise to Dorothy's remarkable 
career. Dorothy serves as an inspiration to the Cortez community, 
especially her patients. I am truly honored to recognize her here 
today. I congratulate Dorothy for her success and thank her for her 
service. Happy 80th birthday!
