Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 57 (Monday, March 31, 2025) [Congressional Record Volume 171, Number 57 (Monday, March 31, 2025)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Pages E263-E264] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] SALUTING THE SERVICE OF LIEUTENANT COLONEL BARBARA MacMILLAN ______ HON. JOHN R. CARTER of texas in the house of representatives Monday, March 31, 2025 Mr. CARTER of Texas. Mr. Speaker, it is my privilege to present a Congressional Veteran Commendation to Lieutenant Colonel Barbara MacMillan, U.S. Army, Retired. Her life and career reflect hard work, selfless service, and dedication to her Nation and Central Texas. LTC MacMillan served from 1976 to 1999, amassing experience at Fort Liberty, West Point, Fort Cavazos, and others. As a 1st Lieutenant with the 2nd Armored Calvary Regiment (2ACR), she managed the operation of a Top-Secret Telecommunications Center and served as the Communications Security (COMSEC) Custodian. Her duties took her to the East German border, where she routinely inspected COMSEC procedures to ensure they remained uncompromised. A trailblazer throughout her career, LTC MacMillan became a jumpmaster at a time when few women served in airborne units. In 1994, she was deployed to Haiti in support of Operation Uphold Democracy with the 1st Corps Support Command, XVIII Airborne Corps, as the G1 (Human Resources Director). She was responsible for theater-wide missions, including organizing a USO show with the Gatlin Brothers on October 24, 1994. Her exemplary service earned her numerous accolades, including the Legion of Merit and the Humanitarian Service Medal. After retiring, LTC MacMillan continued her commitment to service, joining the Fort Cavazos Retiree Council and working with [[Page E264]] The Caring Place, speaking to schools about selfless service and visiting veterans at homes and local events. LTC MacMillan works tirelessly for youth in her community, both as a Scout leader for over 21 years and through her involvement with the American Legion's mentorship, scholarships, and outreach programs. Her efforts continue to make a lasting impact on the next generation. LTC MacMillan's determined efforts for veterans and youth are a powerful reflection of her commitment to selfless service. Her patriotism, honor, and commitment to excellence reflect the very best of Central Texas. ____________________
