           HONORING MAJOR TRENT COLESTOCK, UNITED STATES ARMY

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Army 
congressional liaison to the U.S. House of Representatives Major Trent 
Colestock.

The Army has recognized his patriotism, abilities, and his demonstrated 
potential for increased responsibility, and it promoted him to the rank 
of major on February 1.
  Born in my hometown of Miami, Florida, and raised in Mineral Wells, 
Texas, Trent graduated from Texas Christian University, where he earned 
a degree in business administration and an Army commission. During his 
congressional assignment, he earned a master's degree in legislative 
affairs from George Washington University.
  Commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Army's Field Artillery 
Branch, Trent has served at Fort Drum, Fort Hood, and in Iraq for 
Operation Iraqi Freedom. Throughout his career in our proud military, 
Trent has earned many accolades, including the Combat Action Badge, the 
Bronze Star Medal, and the Iraqi Campaign Medal.
  It is my distinct pleasure, Mr. Speaker, to join with Major 
Colestock's family, friends, and peers as they honor his promotion and 
the many accomplishments of his outstanding service to our Nation.
