  Mr. KUCINICH. Madam Speaker, I rise today in honor and recognition of 
SGM Rolando Moore, Jr., upon his retirement from the U.S. Army, which 
follows nearly 30 years of honorable and dedicated service to our 
country.
  In 1981, Sergeant Major Moore enlisted into the U.S. Army, completing 
basic training at Fort Leonard in Wood, Missouri. He received advanced 
training at Fort Sam in Houston, Texas. Throughout his military career, 
Sergeant Major Moore Jr. sought higher learning in the military, where 
he excelled in numerous courses and training programs, and also at 
private institutions of higher learning. He earned a Bachelor's degree 
in business management from Columbia College, and is currently pursuing 
a Master's degree from the University of Phoenix.
  Sergeant Moore's military education included in-depth training and 
education in the areas of patient advocacy and administration. He 
worked as a senior advisor, patient administration consultant and chief 
clinical officer at military medical facilities across the country and 
overseas, including: Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in 
Washington, DC; Eisenhower Medical Center at Fort Gordon, Georgia; and 
military facilities in Alabama, Colorado, Michigan, Hawaii and Korea. 
Sergeant Moore has been recognized with numerous military honors, 
including the Meritorious Service Medical Award with three oak leaf 
clusters; the Army Commendation Medal with three oak clusters; the 
National Defense Service Medal; the NCO Professional Development 
Ribbon; the Army Service Ribbon; and the Overseas Ribbon Award.
  Madam Speaker and colleagues, please join me in honor and gratitude 
of SGM Rolando Moore, Jr., for his exemplary service on behalf of our 
country. His military career is framed by dedication and unwavering 
commitment to the health and welfare of our veterans, and his work will 
have a positive impact on the lives of countless veterans and their 
families for years to come. I wish Sergeant Major Moore, his wife, Mary 
Moore, and his daughters, Jazmen Moore and Kalea Moore, much peace, 
health and happiness in all their future endeavors.
