  Mr. WENSTRUP. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Major General 
Margaret Wilmoth on her retirement from the United States Army, and to 
thank her for her dedicated service to the United States of America.
  A true leader and trailblazer in her field, Major General Wilmoth 
served as the first nurse and female commanding general of a medical 
brigade with responsibility for wartime readiness of all the U.S. Army 
Reserve medical assets in the Southeastern United States, including 
Puerto Rico.
  A recipient of the Defense Superior Service Medal, the Legion of 
Merit, the Meritorious Service Medal with four Oak Leaf Clusters, the 
Expert Field Medical Badge, and the `9A' Proficiency Designator in 
Medical-Surgical Nursing awarded by The Surgeon General of the U.S. 
Army, Major General Wilmoth has been a true leader and expert in the 
U.S. Army Reserves, and in shaping military health care.
  Congratulations to Major General Wilmoth on her retirement.
