                         Tuesday, May 18, 2004

  Ms. SLAUGHTER. Mr. Speaker. I rise today on behalf of myself, 
Congresswoman Capito and the entire Congressional Caucus for Women's 
Issues to recognize the 7th Annual Women in the Military Wreath Laying 
Ceremony hosted by the Caucus at Arlington National Cemetery. The 
purpose of this event is to honor our nation's servicewomen and female 
veterans for their courage and achievements, and to remember women who 
have died in service to the United States.
  Today, we have the opportunity to recognize five outstanding female 
servicewomen, one selected from each branch of the military. These 
women serve their respective branches with honor, dignity, and courage. 
These highly decorated leaders chose to defend our freedom and embody 
the spirit of those that served before them.
  From the U.S. Coast Guard, we will honor Senior Chief Storekeeper 
Corzetta ``Cozy'' Calloway, who is currently assigned to the Coast 
Guard Recruiting Command (CGRC), Coast Guard Personnel Command in 
Arlington, Virginia. In her position as a supervisor and a Coast Guard 
recruiter, SCSK Calloway helps to manage the online recruiting program 
and provides guidance to prospective applicants via the Coast Guard 
website.
  Senior Chief Calloway also acts as assistant to the chief of the 
Recruiting Command's leasing department for all Coast Guard recruiting 
offices. In this capacity, SCSK Calloway performs essential duties in 
selecting qualified individuals and subsequently in the development of 
Coast Guard servicemen and women. She has shown incredible commitment 
to enhancing the diversity of the Coast Guard workforce. SCSK Calloway 
distinguishes herself as a leader in both recruiting qualified 
individuals and applying her specialty in supply organization and 
logistics. Her impressive awards that she has received include the 
Coast Guard Achievement Medal for serving on the Women's Advisory 
Council, the Coast Guard Letter of Commendation for recruiting, the 
Good Conduct Medal, and the Humanitarian Service Medal.
  Senior Chief Calloway plans to retire soon from the Coast Guard with 
30 years of service, and she will be remembered for her commitment to 
improving the Coast Guard and her dedication to service. She continues 
to distinguish herself as an invaluable leader in the Coast Guard, and 
it is an honor for each member of the Congressional Caucus for Women's 
Issues to recognize the courage and commitment of SCSK Calloway and all 
women in the military.
