RECOGNIZING CAPTAIN DON REDD -- (Extensions of Remarks - June 04, 2004)

SPEECH OF
HON. DARRELL E. ISSA
OF CALIFORNIA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
THURSDAY, JUNE 3, 2004

Mr. ISSA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the achievement of Captain Don Redd, who was presented with the General Douglas MacArthur Army Leadership Award on May 26, 2004. The MacArthur Leadership Award is presented to 27 recipients each year to company grade officers and warrant officers who show exceptional leadership in command and embody the principles of duty, honor, and country that are central to the Army tradition. Captain Redd's selection recognizes his proven ability to motivate and inspire his fellow soldiers, and to provide leadership at critical moments.

Captain Redd currently serves as commander of Headquarters and Support Company, 3rd Battalion, 10th Special Forces Group (A) in Fort Carson, Colorado. He has served in combat tours in Kosovo and twice in Iraq. He also has a Master's Degree in National Security Affairs from Georgetown University.

I am honored to have this opportunity to recognize Captain Redd for his achievement and to thank him for his exceptional service in defense of our country.

END
