FREDERICK MARCIANO--SCOTTSDALE HEALTHCARE'S ``SALUTE TO MILITARY'' HONOREE ______ HON. HARRY E. MITCHELL of arizona in the house of representatives Thursday, May 22, 2008 Mr. MITCHELL. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Dr. Frederick Marciano, Scottsdale Healthcare's ``Salute to Military'' Honoree this Memorial Day, May 26, 2008. Scottsdale Healthcare will be recognizing Dr. Marciano and other physicians with a connection to the Armed Services for their tireless service and sacrifice to this country. More than 300 medical personnel have received exceptional trauma skill training at Scottsdale Healthcare since the program's inauguration in 2004. The program is offered in partnership with Maricopa Integrated Health System and has focused on the Air National Guard, Luke Air Force Base, and Davis Monthan Air Force Base. I commend Scottsdale Healthcare for paying tribute to such a deserving service member. Dr. Frederick Marciano is the Medical Director of Neurology at Scottsdale Healthcare, and was mobilized in April as a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army Reserves to Active Duty at William Beaumont Army Medical Center in Fort Bliss, Texas. His clinical areas of expertise include neurotrauma, general neurosurgery, spinal surgery, and brain and spinal tumor surgery. Dr. Marciano was also deployed in March 2003 to a Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Landstuhl, Germany, where he treated casualties from military operations including Iraqi Freedom, Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan), and Noble Eagle (Bosnia). Notably, he was the lead surgeon in the treatment of POW Private First Class Jessica Lynch's spinal and neurological injuries. Dr. Marciano has received the National Defense Service Medal twice, the U.S. Armed Forces Reserves Medal, the U.S. Army Service Ribbon, the U.S. Army Achievement Medal twice, the Overseas Service Ribbon, and the Superior Unit Award (Landstuhl). Madam Speaker, please join me in recognizing Dr. Frederick Marciano's continued dedication to saving lives and securing our freedom. ____________________
