                         HON. BLAKE FARENTHOLD

                        Tuesday, April 12, 2016

  Mr. FARENTHOLD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor General Marc 
Anthony Cisneros, who recently received the Daughters of the American 
Revolution Medal of Honor.
  The Daughters of the American Revolution is a volunteer organization 
whose members donate their time and energy toward preserving American 
history, funding scholarship programs, and honoring great Americans 
like General Cisneros who have dedicated their lives in outstanding 
service to the United States of America.
  General Cisneros led an illustrious career in the U.S. military from 
1961 until 1996. He is most remembered for his role as a commander of 
the U.S. Army South in the 1989 Panama invasion, where he led the 
effort to depose General Manuel Noriega. It was his leadership that 
minimized casualties while achieving a total victory in the war.
  I join the Daughters of the American Revolution in thanking General 
Cisneros for his service.
