                              HON. TED POE

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, January 21, 2010

  Mr. POE of Texas. Madam Speaker, today we honor one of our nation's 
bravest women, Sgt. Kimberly Munley. Sgt. Munley responded within three 
minutes after gunfire was reported at Ft. Hood, Texas. If it was not 
for her quick and heroic response, many more could have been killed. 
Sgt. Munley was shot during the exchange, but continued shooting at the 
gunman even after being wounded herself. Her bravery serves as a stark 
contrast to the cowardly actions of the shooter. Sgt. Munley portrayed 
the real courage that all of our men and women in the Armed Forces 
embody that we are all grateful for.
