                SERGEANTS MAJOR ACADEMY 50TH ANNIVERSARY

  (Ms. ESCOBAR asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Ms. ESCOBAR. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 50th 
anniversary of the founding of the United States Sergeants Major 
Academy.
  Fort Bliss is the home to the Sergeants Major Academy that trains our 
military leaders to address our country's challenges. Since 1972, the 
academy has expanded students' strategic level of thinking to become 
capable to address large-scale combat operations.
  At the end of the academy, leaders leave as agile, adaptive senior 
leaders with the character, competence, and commitment to be effective 
leaders.
  I am proud that my office's veterans' caseworker, Sergeant Major 
Benito Torres, graduated from the academy in 2009.
  I commend the continuous education that the academy provides and 
their dedication for our military to be ready for future challenges. 
Please join me in recognizing the accomplishments of the last 50 years 
of the United States Sergeants Major Academy and wish them continued 
growth and success.
