                      Wednesday, February 15, 2012

  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a 
remarkable public servant, Alexis Montgomery. Although young, Ms. 
Montgomery has shown what can be accomplished through hard work, 
diligence, and determination.
  Alexis Montgomery, the daughter of Donald C. and Burnidene Montgomery 
was born July 4, 1982, in Monroe, North Carolina. After graduating from 
South Mecklenburg High School at the age of 17, she enlisted into the 
United States Navy, and was stationed in LaMaddalena, Italy. After a 
year, she was reassigned to Mayport, Florida, for five years where she 
worked at the base clinic as a Medical Assistant and Lab Technician. 
She graduated from Sanford Brown Institute in 2003 where she received 
her certificate in Medical Assisting. After completing her enlistment 
with the Navy, she gained employment with Quest Diagnostic Laboratory 
and LabCorp in Jacksonville, Florida.
  In 2007, she relocated to Greenville, Mississippi. In 2008, she 
gained employment at the Greenville Family Clinic, where she currently 
works under Dr. Bill Maddox. Along with caring for her patients, she is 
also the loving mother of three children.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Ms. Alexis 
Montgomery for her remarkable dedication and service to the community 
of Greenville, Mississippi.
