                  RECOGNIZING SERGEANT JENNIFER EVITTS

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JOHN A. BOEHNER

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                         Wednesday, May 5, 2010

  Mr. BOEHNER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and thank 
Sergeant Jennifer Evitts for her exemplary service to the United States 
House of Representatives through her work with the United States Marine 
Corps Office of Legislative Affairs.
  Sergeant Evitts has been a steadfast asset for Members and staff, 
especially for my office, in responding to the myriad administrative 
and logistical questions and needs the House of Representatives often 
requires of our military liaison services. Her attention to detail, her 
ability to work quickly and independently, and her cheerful engagement 
with whomever she encounters is always appreciated.
  It is unfortunately usually the case that we fail to tell the 
individuals who mean the most to us, who do the most for us, how much 
they are valued until it comes time to send them on to their next 
adventure with our best wishes. I'm pleased, however, that Sergeant 
Evitts' contributions were formally recognized while she was still with 
us. It is my particular pleasure to note that due to her diligence and 
the merit of her efforts, Sergeant Evitts was awarded the Navy and 
Marine Corps Commendation Medal for meritorious service to the Marine 
Corps Office of Legislative Affairs. I am proud of Sergeant Evitts for 
earning such a prestigious award.
  I personally congratulate Jennifer on her accomplishments, and I wish 
Jennifer and her family success and happiness in her future endeavors. 
She will be missed.
