                       HONORING CHRISTINA SCHAUER

  (Mrs. HINSON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mrs. HINSON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Christina 
Schauer, a veteran and nurse from Dubuque, Iowa, whose courage and 
dedication to serving others are unmatched.
  Christina served our country overseas as a combat medic in Iraq. Our 
veterans face immense challenges when returning home, and 
unfortunately, our women veterans are often afraid to speak up about 
their experiences. They may feel invisible or that their service wasn't 
worthy. As a result, they may be less likely to seek the care that they 
have earned.
  Christina is working to right this wrong by sharing her own story. 
She has championed women veteran visibility, empowering her sisters in 
sacrifice to talk more about their service and seek the healthcare and 
the benefits they deserve.
  So, Christina, thank you for your service and for your commitment to 
empower women veterans. You are an inspiration to all of us.
