  Ms. NORTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to ask the House of 
Representatives to join me in recognizing Delphine Metcalf-Foster, who 
is the National Commander of Disabled American Veterans (DAV).
  Along with her position with DAV, Ms. Metcalf-Foster serves on the 
First Data Military Advisory Council, is a member of the DAV Department 
of California Claims and Service Committee, and has served as Chairman 
of the DAV Department of California Resolution Committee. In November 
2015, she completed a four-year appointment as a member of the 
Secretary of Veterans Affairs' Advisory Committee on Women Veterans.
  Ms. Metcalf-Foster has served in multiple tours and units. In 1991, 
she was injured while serving in Saudi Arabia as a part of Operation 
Desert Storm/Desert Shield. She has also served with the U.S. Army 
Reserve, 689th Quartermaster Unit, 6253rd Hospital Unit and 6211th 
Transportation Unit at the Letterman Army Medical Center. In 1996, Ms. 
Metcalf-Foster retired from the Army Reserves with the rank of first 
sergeant.
  She is a graduate of Solano Community College and Sonoma State 
University, where she majored in psychology and liberal studies, 
respectively.
  Therefore, I ask the House of Representatives to join me in 
recognizing and honoring Ms. Delphine Metcalf-Foster.
