                      Wednesday, September 5, 2018

  Mrs. MIMI WALTERS of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in 
recognition of my constituent, Muriel Engelman, of Laguna Woods, 
California.
  Muriel served as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army Nurse Corps in 
World War II, spending several months of her two-year service near the 
front lines at the Battle of the Bulge.
  Muriel treated countless American and Allied soldiers, forming 
lasting bonds with those who were fortunate enough to have known her.
  This July, Muriel was appointed a Chevalier of the National Order of 
the Legion of Honor by French President Emmanuel Macron.
  Considered France's highest honor, this distinction was bestowed upon 
Muriel for her brave and selfless work during her six and a half months 
in France during World War II.
  Her vital role in the war effort undoubtedly helped liberate our 
European allies.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to congratulate Muriel Engelman on her 
well-deserved recognition.
