Another CNMI soldier in the U.S. Army currently stationed at the Pentagon who received recognition and was promoted was Sergeant Connie C. Williams. Her promotion follows in the footsteps of U.S. Army Major Edwin A. Castro who was promoted to U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel. Williams was promoted to U.S. Army Staff Sergeant on Feb. 4, 2008.
Williams is the daughter of Joseph Juan Cruz and Begonia Deleon Guerrero Cruz of Chalan Kiya, Saipan. She was born and raised in Saipan and graduated from Marianas High School. She is married to Sgt. Terrance Williams and they are the proud parents of a 3-year-old boy, Terrance Williams Jr. or “TJ”.
In addition to her military duties, Williams is currently pursuing a degree in Computer Information Systems Management from Park University. Her promotion ceremony was attended by colleagues, family, friends and staff of the Resident Representative’s Office.
“This is truly a great day for the Northern Marianas. It is quite an honor to witness our bright, young men and women ascend through the military chain of command and get recognized for all their determination, hard work, untiring commitment and patriotism,” said Washington Rep. Pete A. Tenorio. [B][I](PR)[/I][/B]
