  Mr. EHRLICH. Mr. Speaker, my friend and former constituent, Colonel 
Roslyn Glantz Trojan, is retiring after 29 years of exemplary active 
federal service in the United States Army. She has served our country 
with dignity, honor, and integrity.
  Colonel Glantz Trojan, a native of Annapolis, Maryland, is a 1971 
graduate of Hood College in Frederick, Maryland, with a Bachelor of 
Arts (BA) in History and a 1981 graduate of George Washington 
University with a Masters of Business Administration. In 1972, she 
entered the Army through the Officer Direct Commission Program. After 
Officer Basic Training at Fort McClellan, Alabama, she was assigned to 
the Combat Surveillance and Electronics School at Fort Huachuca, 
Arizona as a administrative officer.
  Soon thereafter, Colonel Glantz Trojan was selected to serve as an 
Operations Officer and Officer Recruiter at the Army District 
Recruiting Command in New Orleans, Louisiana. From 1976 to 1979, 
Colonel Glantz Trojan served in the 25th Infantry Division, Schofield 
Barracks, Hawaii, first as a division logistician and then as a Company 
Commander in the Division Support Command.
  Following her advanced military and civilian schooling, she was 
nominated to the Army Staff in 1981, where she served as Team Chief, 
Tactical and Non-Tactical Wheeled Vehicle Program. Colonel Glantz 
Trojan left the Pentagon in 1984 to join the staff of the 2nd Infantry 
Division in Camp Casey, Korea. She left Korea to attend the Armed 
Forces Staff College.
  From 1986 to 1987, Colonel Glantz Trojan served a joint duty 
assignment at the United States Readiness Command, MacDill Air Force 
Base. As the first J-4 for a newly formed Joint Task Force, she planned 
the deployment of forces and the employment of logistics for the CINC's 
operational plan. Colonel

Glantz Trojan served in Germany in the Army's legendary 3rd Armored 
Division. She first served as the Executive Officer of the 503rd 
Forward Support Battalion in Kirchgoens, later commanding the 54th 
Forward Support Battalion (FSB) in Friedberg, Germany. As Battalion 
Commander of the 54th FSB Colonel Glantz Trojan deployed her battalion 
to Desert Storm in support of the 3rd Armored Division. Her support of 
this Division during the Gulf War was truly outstanding. Following the 
War, Colonel Glantz Trojan attended the U.S. Army War College and after 
graduation was assigned to the Supreme Allied Command, Atlantic as the 
Logistics Plans and Operations Officer.
  It was during her assignment as the Deputy Installation Commander and 
Garrison Commander, U.S. Army Garrison, Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG), 
Maryland, that I personally came to know of Colonel Roslyn Glantz 
Trojan's considerable skills as a leader. I later learned of her deft 
diplomatic and political skills during her final assignment in the Army 
as the Chief of Legislative Liaison, U.S. Army Materiel Command from 
1998 until now.
  I am proud to report to my colleagues that Colonel Glantz Trojan's 
personal awards include the Bronze Star Medal, the Defense Superior 
Service Medal, the Legion of Merit, the Defense Meritorious Service 
Medal, as well as several Army meritorious and commendation medals and 
the Southwest Asia Campaign and Kuwait Liberation medals.
  Mr. Speaker, this exemplary soldier, my friend Colonel Roslyn Glantz 
Trojan, deserves the thanks and praise of this grateful nation she has 
faithfully served for so long. I know the Members of the House will 
join me in wishing her and her husband all the best in the years ahead.
