                            HON. KEVIN BRADY

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 30, 2004

  Mr. BRADY of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to show America's deep 
appreciation for Delores A. Maguire, M.S., R.D., C.S.P., L.D., who will 
be deployed to Iraq next May serving as a Captain in the U.S. Army in 
the war against terror in which we are fighting for a safer world, free 
from the threat of terror in our daily lives. Delores has served 
faithfully six years as a Registered Pediatric Dietician at Memorial 
Hermann Hospital and the Texas Children's Hospital in the renowned 
Texas Medical Center--Houston.
  While overseeing the diets of patients in an Army hospital, Delores 
will undoubtedly apply her background as a Pediatric Dietician to 
ensure her patients a successful recovery. As a former member of the 
United States Navy and the United States Army Reserve, Delores will use 
her military training, coupled with her extensive medical knowledge to 
become a valuable asset to the Army in the form of a strong leader and 
a productive team player.
  On a personal level, every one of her colleagues and co-workers tell 
me that Delores is sincere, honest, hardworking and is a great 
listener. She is down-to-earth, has a refreshing sense of humor and a 
way of making very difficult challenges seem easy and uncomplicated. 
She is committed to excellence and is always there to help others 
personally and professionally. What a wonderful role model.
  Equally important, she never misses a Houston Texans football game 
and is one of the Texans' greatest fans. Mr. Speaker, many are honored 
to be her friend, family or colleague, and on behalf of the 
constituents of the 8th District of Texas we express our pride in her 
services and pray for a safe return.
