                       Thursday, October 22, 2015

  Mr. CARTER of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor an 
outstanding citizen, Specialist 5th Class Eula Jett for her dedicated 
and honorable service. She is an exceptional American in both the 
military and civilian worlds.
  Enlisting in the US Women's Army Corps in 1967, SP5 Jett served as a 
Medical Records Technician where she achieved her rank of Specialist 
5th Class. During her 9 year tenure, she completed two tours in Bad 
Cannstatt, Germany before ending her career at Fort Hood. While there, 
SP5 Jett worked in the Coding Section and served on the Medical Records 
Committee at the Darnall Army Hospital. Recognizing her dedication, she 
received numerous Letters of Appreciation from the Darnall Army 
Hospital as well as a Letter of Commendation. SP5 Jett is a decorated 
U.S. Army Veteran whose awards include the National Defense Service 
Medal and the Good Conduct Medal among others.
  SP5 Jett was honorably discharged from the Army in 1976 after 9 
years, but that did not stop her from continuing to support the Army 
she loves. Upon leaving the service, she remained an active supporter 
of the Army and continued to work at Darnall Army Hospital as a 
civilian employee. A few years later SP5 Jett would return to support 
our Veterans as a civilian employee at the Olin E. Teague Veterans 
Center in Temple, TX.
  Continuing in her selfless service, SP5 Jett showed her dedication 
and love to the Temple, Texas community after her retirement. She 
currently serves as Chair on the Salvation Army advisory board and the 
Advisory Council of Safe Kids Mid-Texas coalition. As a woman of faith, 
she involves herself in numerous capacities in the Church Women of the 
Temple Area, including serving as the President in 2011-2012.
  SP5 Jett's devotion to our country is matched only by her commitment 
to serving others in her community. I commend her for her service to 
the nation, United States Army, and her community in Temple, Texas. I 
wish her all the best in the years to come.
