              HONORING THE SERVICE OF MRS. CHASITY TUGGLE

                                  _____
                                 

                             HON. ANDY BARR

                              of kentucky

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, April 8, 2014

  Mr. BARR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an outstanding 
individual, Mrs. Chasity Tuggle of Berea, Kentucky. Mrs. Tuggle 
recently earned distinction as a 2014 Elizabeth Dole Foundation Fellow 
for her devotion as a caregiver to a special military veteran, her 
husband. With this honor, Mrs. Tuggle represents Kentucky in the Caring 
for Military Families Program.
  Serving as a veteran caregiver can often prove physically and 
mentally challenging, resulting in significant hardship for the 
families involved. Mrs. Tuggle is among the one million individuals who 
voluntarily provide homecare to wounded Iraq and Afghanistan veterans 
throughout the nation.
  All military and veteran caregivers deserve our appreciation and 
gratitude, but today I would like to especially salute Mrs. Tuggle for 
her selfless dedication and willingness to place the needs of a loved 
one over her own. I also applaud her exceptional work through the 
Elizabeth Dole Foundation, which allows her to give a voice to other 
veteran caregivers who have made a similar sacrifice. Mrs. Tuggle is 
truly an outstanding American and an inspiration to us all.
