                      CONGRATULATING RAQUEL SALTER

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate 
Raquel Salter for being selected for promotion from lieutenant 
commander to commander in the U.S. Coast Guard Reserves.
  Commander Salter is a 29-year veteran of the U.S. Coast Guard and 
served about one-third of her time in Georgia's First Congressional 
District.
  Throughout her service, she has always gone above and beyond to 
selflessly defend our Nation and advocate for the Coast Guard, 
especially servicewomen.
  Over her 29 years of service, Commander Salter has been activated to 
Key West for the Cuban Raft Crisis, to Savannah to assist with the 
Olympic sailing security, to Charleston for Operation Iraqi Freedom, 
and to Savannah again for 9/11 and to help assist with the G8 summit 
security.
  This year, Commander Salter was chosen as part of a select group to 
help with COVID-19 response in Miami. I can't thank her enough for her 
steadfast commitment to serving our country and countless Americans, 
and I wish her the best in her new position.
