                                  _____

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, April 15, 2016

  Mr. COOK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize two outstanding 
Marines who were recently selected as the Marine and Noncommissioned 
Officer of the Quarter at Marine Corps Logistics Base Barstow.
  Lance Corporal Cristina Zamora was named the Marine of the Quarter. 
Lance Corporal Zamora, a native of Los Angeles, enlisted in the Marine 
Corps in 2014 and currently serves as a postal clerk. This past summer, 
she participated in and won the High Intensity Tactical Training 
Competition at Marine Corps Logistics Base Barstow. Lance Corporal 
Zamora then went on to participate against winners from other Marine 
Corps installations and finished in the top 10 overall. She certainly 
earned the title of Marine of the Quarter.
  There are many of you here today who haven't served in the Armed 
Forces, but it's important to know that noncommissioned officers are 
the backbone of our military. I'm proud to announce that Corporal 
Natori Miller was named the Noncommissioned Officer of the Quarter at 
Marine Corps Logistics Base Barstow. Corporal Miller enlisted in the 
Marine Corps in 2011 and has taken full advantage of the educational 
and leadership opportunities at her disposal. She has participated and 
excelled in the Military Academic Skills Program, and she serves as 
president of the Single Marines Program at Marine Corps Logistics Base 
Barstow. Corporal Miller is truly a leader of Marines in every sense of 
the word.
  Again, congratulations to Lance Corporal Zamora and Corporal Miller 
for their dedication to the United States Marine Corps and the United 
States of America. Semper Fi, Devil Dogs.
