Forces from my home state of Arizona. Each month, Scottsdale Healthcare 
honors service members who perform diligent service to this country. 
For October, they recognized Major Leslie G. Wilson.
  I commend Scottsdale Healthcare for paying tribute to such an 
outstanding service member for her bravery and service to our country.
  During her military career, Major Wilson has been deployed three 
times as a military nurse officer. Most recently, Wilson was deployed 
in Iraq where she saved lives, cared for the wounded and served her 
country with great distinction.
  Beyond her tours of duty, Wilson is devoted to educating and training 
our military personnel. She teaches lifesaving skills to military 
personnel so they will be able to provide the best possible care when 
deployed and under wartime conditions.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in recognizing this outstanding Air 
Force Nurse Corps leader for serving our country and protecting the 
lives of fellow service men and women in combat.
