                        Wednesday, May 21, 2014

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor 
Captain Kynnie Martin for her service to our country.
   Captain Martin served in the United States Army from December 2002 
to December 2010. She was assigned to the 3rd Infantry Division 
Artillery at Ft. Stewart, Georgia, as the Assistant Intelligence 
Officer. She was subsequently deployed in support of Iraqi Freedom as 
the 3rd Infantry Division's first Shadow Tactical Unmanned Aerial 
Vehicle Company Executive Officer and Platoon Leader, Camp Taji, Iraq, 
and as Battalion Intelligence Officer for 703rd Forward Support 
Battalion, 4th Brigade.
   Captain Martin continues her work on behalf of veterans in her 
civilian career as Senior Recruiter for Veterans and Diversity for Xcel 
Energy and as Treasurer on the Board of Directors for Women Veterans of 
Colorado.
   Through her courageous service, Captain Martin charted the path for 
future generations of women to serve in the military. I extend my 
deepest appreciation to Captain Kynnie Martin for her dedication, 
integrity and outstanding service to the United States of America.
