  Mr. ROY. Mr. Speaker, I rise to observe Women Veterans Day on June 
12th and thank all the American women that have directly and indirectly 
served with our Armed Forces.
  Seventy-five years ago, in 1948, the Women's Armed Services 
Integration Act was passed.
  On June 17, 2023, my constituents in Kerrville will gather to salute 
the military service of female veterans in my district.
  Over the summer, I will highlight 20 accounts of military service 
from Texas's 21st Congressional District, including veterans:
  Lt. Colonel Edith Shacklette Haynes, Captain Earlynn Black Harding, 
Private First Class Rae Tausig Weisbruch, Petty Officer 3rd class 
Virginia Lewandowski Saip, Specialist Mary Redmon Casillas, Staff
