  Mr. MITCHELL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize an outstanding 
member of the Armed Forces from my home state of Arizona. Each month, 
Scottsdale Healthcare honors military personnel who perform 
exceptionally in the medical field in defense of our country. 
Scottsdale Healthcare has recognized Major Nancy J. Johnson for the 
month of November.
  I commend Scottsdale Healthcare for paying tribute to Major Johnson 
for her life-saving expertise and honorable service to our country.
  Major Johnson distinguished herself through her outstanding 
performance as a Chief Nurse in Qatar. She led her team and provided 
superior medical support to more than 8,000 deployed military members. 
Her clinical expertise and management skills guaranteed expeditious 
transport of critically wounded soldiers to higher levels of care that 
saved lives, limbs and eyesight.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in recognizing this courageous Air 
Force Nurse Corps leader for serving our country and protecting the 
lives of her fellow service men and women in combat.
