                     Wednesday, September 28, 2016

  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, congratulations to 
Jeanette James, Professional Staffer for the House Armed Services 
Committee, on being awarded The Military Coalition's 2016 Freedom Award 
for her outstanding service and significant contributions to the 
military and veterans' community.
  On September 22, 2016, The Military Coalition, an association of 32 
military, veterans, and uniformed services organizations, recognized 
her for over a decade of dedicated work with the House Committee on 
Armed Services. During her tenure with the committee, she has been a 
crucial part of crafting important legislation and an exceptional asset 
for the Military Personnel subcommittee now chaired by Congressman Joe 
Heck of Nevada. She was previously recognized as a Freedom Award 
recipient in 2012.
  I am grateful for her admirable service and dedication to the 
committee and our servicemembers and military families. She has 
maintained the high standards of her predecessor, the late John Chapla.
