  Mr. ISRAEL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize an outstanding 
individual in our community, Julianna Marie Petrone.
  Julie's dedication to serving veterans and active duty military 
personnel was evident when she first began her career in the federal 
service at my Congressional District Office in 2002. Julie served the 
veterans and military personnel of New York's 2nd Congressional 
District with such passion and determination that she gave new meaning 
to the phrase ``above and beyond the call of duty.'' Julie has worked 
tirelessly to ensure that these veterans and military personnel have 
received their medals and benefits with the dignity and justice they 
deserve.
  Julie is now taking her call to serve our nation to the highest 
level. On Sunday May 30, 2010, Julie will be commissioned as 1st 
Lieutenant in the United States Air Force and will be serving at 
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base following Officers Training.
  Julie has touched the lives of veterans on Long Island, and now she 
will touch the lives

of the citizens of our entire nation as she steps into her new 
leadership role as 1st Lieutenant in the United States Air Force.
  I congratulate Julie upon her tremendous achievements and wish her 
the best in her next step of service.
