Hassan Sheikh, It's an honor to extend my deepest gratitude for your dedication and the transformative impact you've made as a public servant. Your commitment to safeguarding public health as a non-partisan expert on public health emergency management in the Congressional Research Service for the Library of Congress is so behind-the-scenes, but I am sure it has shaped and continues to shape bills and policies that ensure the safety of many communities around the country!
One of the greatest gifts that God gives us is the act of service; serving others. It’s a blessing and an honor to be surrounded by so many selfless people, working together to create a positive impact on our communities.
Hi Kim, I just want to recognize you for everything you do for the Pittsburgh RO to make it easier for us to provide better public service to our customers. Also I would like to compliment you on your long career in public service. Kim, you make a difference:)

TRIBUTE TO COLONEL WILLIAM J. CAVANAUGH I rise to honor COL William J. Cavanaugh, his contributions to the Air Force Research Lab at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, OH, and his distinguished 31-year service in the U.S. Army. Colonel Cavanaugh was instrumental in the design and architecture of the AFRL Bio Acoustics Lab anechoic chamber. Seventy years after its completion, the anechoic chamber is still used today and the research done works to save the lives of our service members on the battlefield. The American Institute of Physics featured Colonel Cavanaugh in their oral history and highlighted Colonel Cavanaugh's far-reaching impacts on the scientific community. In December of 2022, the Ohio Legislature's 134th Generally Assembly adopted HCR 32 to recognize "Colonel William J. Cavanaugh for his contribution to the design and architecture of the United States Air Force Research Lab Bio Acoustics Laboratory, and for his outstanding and enduring service to our nation." It is fitting to honor Colonel Cavanaugh for his lasting contributions that have saved the lives of our men and women in uniform. Sites from the National Veterans Memorial and Museum to the National Museum of the United States Air Force have all commemorated Colonel Cavanaugh and his work. As we expand and support the vital work that Ohioans continue to do at Wright-Patt and the Air Force Research Lab, it is important to ensure that future generations learn about past leaders, including Colonel Cavanaugh, and the difference they made for our State and our country. Today, I join a grateful State and a grateful nation in thanking Colonel Cavanaugh for his dedication and service to Ohio and our Nation.

As Team Lead, I want to thank Rob Cox, Orlaith Duggan, Mike Garcia, Jancy LaFollette, Larissa McKenna, and Ledi Romeo for being such great colleagues on the Program Impact & Operations Team within AmeriCorps VISTA. Despite the variety of assignments we all work on - supporting VISTA projects through award-making, policy creation, research and evaluation, special initiatives with HUD and USDA, conducting outreach to tribal organizations and IT operations, you make PIO a truly cohesive team working towards the greater good. Whether stationed here in DC, IL, WI or NM, you make it possible to function as one amazing team! Thank you for your work supporting national service in the U.S.!
