“Mr. President, I rise to recognize Maj. Colleen Randolph, U.S. Marine Corps, for her distinguished and exemplary service, on the occasion of her transfer from the U.S. Marine Corps Office of Legislative Affairs to the Nation's best service academy, the U.S. Naval Academy. I, and many other Members of the Senate, have had the privilege of working with Major Randolph over the past 3 years as a military escort for congressional travel, continuing the excellent relationship between the Marine Corps and the U.S. Senate. In her role, Major Randolph enabled the successful execution of over 30 international congressional delegations. Major Randolph distinguished herself through exceptional service to her country and in direct support of every Member of the Senate. Major Randolph expertly handled congressional inquiries and requests for information from nearly every one of the 100 Senate offices, including my own. My team and I have traveled with Major Randolph on multiple international trips, most recently to the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, a region critical to our national security. She has proven to be an incredible asset, consistently demonstrated exceptional problem- solving capability both prior to and during execution of congressional travel, excellent communications skills, and a wealth of knowledge. Major Randolph also exemplified the candor and knowledge that we have come to expect from the Marine Corps.…”
