  Mr. KEAN of New Jersey. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor and congratulate 
Brigadier General Cindy M. Saladin-Muhammad on her new position as 
Brigadier General within the United States Army, making her the first 
Muslim to be promoted to the rank in the history of the United States 
of America. Brigadier General Saladin-Muhammad is an outstanding 
officer who has dedicated 40 years of service to the United States Army 
and during that time earned countless awards and decorations. She holds 
a variety of degrees including two masters', one in Strategic Studies 
and one in Business Administration and holds a doctorate in business 
administration. Brigadier General Saladin-Muhammad has had a stellar 
career in the Medical Service Corps, rising through the ranks from an 
Environmental Science Engineering Officer in 1995 to assuming command 
of multiple support hospitals within the country and abroad. As we 
congratulate Brigadier General on her new position with the United 
States Army, I have full confidence that she will serve her position 
with conviction and pride just as she's done for the past 40 years. I 
thank her for her service, and congratulate Brigadier General Saladin-
Muhammad.
