                     IN RECOGNITION OF GLYNNA COLE

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. DOUG LAMBORN

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 17, 2007

  Mr. LAMBORN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mrs. Glynna 
Cole on the occasion of her reelection as American Legion Post 
Commander at Post 5 in Colorado Springs. The first woman ever to hold 
this office at Post 5, since it was founded in 1919, Mrs. Cole joined 
the Women's Army Corps in 1964.
  Mrs. Cole has contributed a lifetime of honorable service to the 
Armed Forces. Assigned to the Pentagon at the start of her career, Mrs. 
Cole went on to work at the Draft Board in Stanton, Texas, the Army 
Reserves, and the Air Force Academy in Civilian Personnel until her 
retirement in 1995.
  Like so many great Americans, Mrs. Cole has continued, in retirement, 
to make a positive contribution to society. She is an active member in 
several groups and organizations including the Worthy Matron Order of 
the Eastern Star and Daughters of the Nile, and was President of both 
the Auxiliary Aerie 3260 and Women's Army Corps Veterans Chapter. In 
2004, she became Adjutant at the American Legion Post 5 and was first 
elected Post Commander in 2006. Mrs. Cole is both an asset to our 
Colorado Springs community and to our Nation, and I am honored to 
recognize her today.
