                         Monday, July 14, 2025

  Mr. OBERNOLTE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Major Jennie Marie 
Fregoso for her outstanding 25 years of service in the United States 
Army. From May 2000 to July 2025, Major Fregoso exemplified the Army's 
core values of duty, honor, and selfless service, leaving a lasting 
impact on every unit she served with.
  Major Fregoso began her career as a Medical Logistics Specialist with 
the 349th General Hospital and later served with distinction in the 
349th Combat Support Hospital and the 349th Field Hospital. Throughout 
her career, she held key roles including Executive Officer, S1, S3, S8, 
Projects Manager, and Conversion Coordinator. Her versatility and 
leadership were pivotal during the transformation of the 349th Combat 
Support Hospital into the 349th Field Hospital and 380th Hospital 
Center, and she was personally commended for her performance as Battle 
Captain during CSTX.
  During her 2004 to 2005 deployment in support of Operation Enduring 
Freedom, Major Fregoso served at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, 
took part in a humanitarian mission in El Salvador, and led a cost-
saving initiative that saved the Army over $600,000. She completed key 
leadership courses and earned multiple awards, including the Army 
Commendation Medal, the Army Achievement Medal, and the Humanitarian 
Service Medal.
  Major Jennie Marie Fregoso's service has strengthened the operational 
readiness of the Army Reserve medical community and shaped the careers 
of countless soldiers. Her legacy is one of dedication, leadership, and 
unwavering professionalism. I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring 
her exceptional career and in wishing her continued success and 
fulfillment in retirement.
