                        Thursday, April 16, 2015

  Mr. CURBELO of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Master 
Sergeant Norma Garcia Fuller, an American patriot, who will be 
receiving the Living Hero Award. I have the immense privilege of 
representing so many courageous former service members and their 
families in Florida's 26th Congressional District, and Master Sergeant 
Garcia Fuller exemplifies the greatness of our military. Born and 
raised in Homestead, Florida, Master Sergeant Garcia Fuller enlisted in 
the United States Army in 1989 and attended Fort Jackson, South 
Carolina for the majority of her training. Serving in several different 
roles in the United States Military, Master Sergeant Garcia Fuller was 
placed on orders in support of Operation Enduring Freedom at United 
States Southern Command in March of 2010. During this assignment she 
held numerous positions such as Assistant to the Inspector General, 
Human Resources Sergeant for the Resources and Assessments Directorate, 
and Executive Assistant to the Senior Enlisted Leader, where she was 
promoted to Sergeant First Class. In April 2013, she was mobilized to 
Guantanamo Bay where she served as the Joint Personnel Center 
Noncommissioned Officer and the Manpower and Personnel Noncommissioned 
Officer, where she was promoted to her current rank of Master Sergeant 
for her service to our country. Brave men and women like Master 
Sergeant Norma Garcia Fuller protect and preserve the integrity of our 
nation and the freedom that we enjoy. I offer my sincerest recognition 
of her service to our community and our nation, and highest accolades 
for receiving the Living Hero Award.
