                      Wednesday, October 23, 2013

  Mr. SMITH of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Ms. Candice 
Davis of Jackson, Missouri for her outstanding achievements and service 
to our nation. Ms. Davis served in the United States Navy for nine 
years as a journalist and public affairs officer. Stationed abroad in 
Sicily, Bosnia, and Kosovo, she was a news anchor, radio host, and 
television travel show host. She then spent time in Jacksonville, 
Florida before reaching her final duty station in Denver, Colorado at 
the Navy Recruiting District. In this position, Ms. Davis excelled in 
marketing the Navy to the region and expanding recruitment efforts. She 
spearheaded efforts to get recruiters more involved in charity and 
community work.
  After being honorably discharged from the Navy, Ms. Davis completed 
her education at Southeast Missouri State University, graduating Magna 
Cum Laude. She now works as a media specialist with the Missouri 
Department of Conservation, encouraging the community to discover the 
power of nature. She believes that those who participate in outdoor 
recreation experience less stress and are more confident and that 
individuals can truly go on to be anything they want to be. This is the 
message Ms. Davis imparts to interns in her office, in addition to 
sharing her military stories. I thank Ms. Davis for her service to our 
nation and I am impressed by her continued work to better our 
community.
