behind the scenes, but anyone who has served in uniform understands that mission success depends on the Soldiers who ensure our forces are supported and cared for. Sergeant First Class Carlos has dedicated her career to taking care of America's warfighters, allowing them to focus on accomplishing the mission. It is often said that leaders take care of people first, because people accomplish the mission. Sergeant First Class Carlos has lived that principle throughout her career.

Sergeant First Class Carlos has embraced that responsibility throughout her career, mentoring fellow Soldiers and helping pave the way for future generations of women in uniform. Through organizations such as the Women's Veterans Memorial, Sisters-in-Arms, and the Special Operations Spartan Women's Leadership Initiative, she continues to inspire others to lead with purpose. Her influence extends well beyond her own assignments and will continue to be felt through the many servicemembers she has encouraged and mentored.
military service. Sergeant First Class Carlos is also a devoted mother to her two children, Aliyanah and Tyler. Like so many military families, they have experienced frequent moves, long separations, and the unique challenges that accompany a life of service. Their support has been an essential part of her success, and they deserve our gratitude as well. And of course, no family would be complete without mentioning their beloved dog, Tofu.
something deeply meaningful. Our island has long answered our Nation's call to serve. Despite our small size, Guam has consistently produced men and women who have answered the call to defend our Nation with unwavering dedication. Across every generation and every branch of service, the people of Guam have proudly worn the uniform, making sacrifices far beyond what many realize. Sergeant First Class Carlos proudly carries on that proud tradition. From the villages of Guam to the Pentagon, she has represented our island with distinction and serves as an inspiration to young people who aspire to wear the uniform and serve something greater than themselves.
her faithful service to our Nation. We are immensely proud to call her one of Guam's own, and we thank her for representing our island with honor, integrity, and distinction.
