                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 21, 2014

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor 
Sergeant Nora Mund for her service to our country.
  Sergeant Mund served in the United States Marine Corps from August 
2006 to November 2012. She was the first female assigned to serve as 
the senior armor-small arms repair technician for the Marine Corps 
Infantry Officer's Course, Quantico, Virginia.
  Sergeant Mund volunteered to deploy to Iraq with Operation Enduring 
Freedom and was selected to serve on the Marine Corps' first Female 
Engagement Team. She worked directly with the Afghan population and on 
foot patrol. During her deployment she was assigned to the 1st 
Battalion 6th Marines, Charlie Company, and 2nd Battalion 6th Marines, 
Golf Company. She was medically retired due to injuries sustained 
during her tour in Afghanistan, and she is currently a full time 
student at the University of Colorado--Denver. She is participating in 
a research internship with ``Canines Providing Assistance to Wounded 
Warriors.''
  Through her courageous service, Sergeant Mund charted the path for 
future generations of women to serve in the military. I extend my 
deepest appreciation to Sergeant Nora Mund for her dedication, 
integrity and outstanding service to the United States of America.
