                        Monday, February 6, 2012

  Mr. GONZALEZ. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring 
a true asset to our country's armed forces, Ms. Loyola Rose Trujillo.
  Ms. Trujillo is currently the Director of the Civilian Hispanic and 
American Indian/Alaska Native Programs for the Department of Defense's 
Office of Diversity Management and Equal Opportunity. Prior to this 
esteemed position, she has served in various posts within the 
Department of Defense and has worked in budget and contracting, 
civilian personnel, strategic planning and manpower. Throughout her 
career, Ms. Trujillo has been a model for public service and government 
effectiveness, and her dedicated efforts have ensured that our nation's 
military is an employer that operates at the highest level of civil 
rights compliance and protections for its employees. Additionally, her 
work to promote diversity has greatly increased opportunities for 
members of minority communities to serve proudly and exceptionally in 
our nation's armed forces.
  She is the daughter of Elisa Dominguez and Antonio Simone Trujillo, 
who was the first Mexican-American policeman on the Kansas City, 
Missouri Police Department. She is married to LTC Randall Miller USMC 
(ret), and she considers her greatest accomplishments to be the raising 
of her wonderful family, including two daughters and seven outstanding 
grandchildren.
  It is my proud honor to represent constituents like Ms. Loyola Rose 
Trujillo in our nation's capitol. Once again, I ask all of my 
colleagues to join with me in recognizing a true public servant.
