of Cadets. A trailblazer, Cadet Meredith will be the first woman to 
hold the position in the Institute's 181-year history.
  As Regimental Commander, Cadet Meredith will oversee the training, 
discipline, fitness, and morale of the Corps. She currently is a member 
of the U.S. Marine Corps Recruit Officers Training Program. Upon her 
graduation and successful completion of the program, Cadet Meredith 
will receive her commission as a Second Lieutenant of Marines.
  Cadet Kasey Meredith's selection as Regimental Commander is a 
testament to her strong academic performance, determination, and 
leadership. On behalf of Pennsylvania's 13th Congressional District, it 
is my privilege to recognize outstanding Pennsylvanians as they answer 
the call to serve our nation. I proudly congratulate Cadet Meredith on 
earning this well-deserved position and wish her every continued 
success.
