 ========================= END NOTE ========================= 


  Mr. WENSTRUP. Madam Speaker, I rise today to thank former USO-
Metropolitan Washington-Baltimore CEO Elaine Rogers for her service to 
our community and congratulate her on her upcoming retirement.
  Elaine was first hired by the USO-Metro chapter in 1976 and was 
quickly elevated to the role of Executive Director the following year.
  Over the course of her remarkable career, she led the expansion of 
the USO-Metro to support 29 military installations across the National 
Capital Region.
  For her tireless dedication to members of the U.S. Armed Forces and 
their families, Elaine has been recognized by the U.S. Army, Marine 
Corps, Navy, and Air Force with service awards and medals.
  I don't know anyone with the same energy and dedication as Elaine 
Rogers. I first met Elaine in 2007 as she annually brought the USO to 
Cincinnati, where thousands came together to support our troops.
  Elaine is a dedicated wife, mother, and grandmother, and I know she 
is looking forward to spending more time with her family in retirement.
  She has served with diligence and integrity throughout her 
distinguished career. She is the ultimate patriot, and as they say, a 
real ``Yankee-Doodle Dandy.''
  I thank Elaine again and wish her the best in her retirement. A 
grateful Nation salutes her.
