  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, it is with great pride and pleasure that I 
rise today to recognize the outstanding service of Wanda Riddle at 
Sullivan County Memorial Hospital on the occasion of celebrating 50 
years as a Registered Nurse.
  Wanda graduated from the College of St. Teresa as a Registered Nurse, 
and began her career at Sullivan County Memorial Hospital in 1955. She 
has dedicated almost her entire career to the hospital in Milan, MO and 
the community it serves. Wanda has had many accomplishments throughout 
her career, including starting the Sullivan County Ambulance Service at 
the hospital in the 1980s. She has also taught CNA classes, attended 
numerous inservice/education for cardiac and EKG interpretations, and 
has been a mentor to the entire nursing staff at Sullivan County 
Memorial Hospital.
  Wanda has earned the gratitude and respect of her colleagues and 
fellow citizens of Sullivan County, Missouri. Her life's dedication and 
hard work should serve as an example to the rest of us on how we can 
better serve each other and our communities.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join with me in commending 
Wanda Riddle for her dedicated service to Sullivan County Memorial 
Hospital. I know Wanda's colleagues, family and friends join with me in 
thanking her for her commitment to others and wishing her happiness and 
good health for years to come.
