  IN RECOGNITION OF MAGGIE FAZENBAKER AND HER COMMITMENT TO OUR TROOPS

  (Mr. TEAGUE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. TEAGUE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate an 
extraordinary individual who has been a relentless supporter of our 
troops. For over 5 years, Maggie Fazenbaker of Alamogordo, New Mexico, 
has been stuffing care packages to be sent to the men and women of our 
Armed Forces.
  Now the simple act of stuffing care packages for servicemembers is 
honorable enough, but there are a couple of extra twists when we look 
at Maggie's story. You see, Maggie is only 17 years-old. Also, on May 
14, Maggie and her corps of loyal volunteers stuffed hundreds more 
packages, bringing the total number of care packages that Maggie has 
sent to 10,000.
  The care packages Maggie sends to our troops give them a small amount 
of comfort as they pursue their dangerous and important missions. We 
owe our troops great effort for even small comforts. Thank you, Maggie.
  God bless.
