         IN RECOGNITION OF SERGEANT MAJOR (RET.) DANIEL BULLIS

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. WILLIAM R. KEATING

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, November 5, 2015

  Mr. KEATING. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Daniel Bullis, a 
Vietnam veteran who is not only being honored by the Korean War 
Veterans Association but also Cape Cod Veterans, Inc. for his 
outstanding military service and dedication to military medicine.
   Sergeant Major Bullis is a respected veteran of the war in Vietnam 
and served for 31 years on active duty in the United States Army 
Medical Department. During his illustrious career, he assumed numerous 
leadership responsibilities--the culmination of which led to his 
selection as the first Sergeant Major, Army Medical Department/Senior 
Enlisted Advisor to the Surgeon General of the U.S. Army. He was also 
appointed as the first Regimental Sergeant Major of the Army Medical 
Department Regiment, a position in which he provided leadership and 
guidance concerning the health, welfare, and training of 90,000 
enlisted medical personnel.
   After Sergeant Major Bullis retired from the Army, he joined the 
Department of Defense Deployment Health Clinical Center as the Chief of 
Staff and also serves as Vice President for Patient and Family Services 
with the Walter Reed Society--a non-profit charitable organization that 
helps wounded veterans with the unanticipated and often burdensome 
financial needs. The Society provides these veterans with specially 
identified equipment and services related to their care when other 
resources are not available. Originally chartered in 1996 for the 
benefit of the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, the Society now serves 
its successor organization, Walter Reed National Military Medical 
Center, in Bethesda, Maryland. Sergeant Major Bullis serves proudly and 
voluntarily on the Board of the Society. His efforts on behalf of the 
Walter Reed Society have helped hundreds of service members and their 
families receive the assistance they deserve.
   Mr. Speaker, I am proud to honor Sergeant Major Bullis for his many 
years of service and outstanding dedication to the care of our nation's 
service members. I ask that my colleagues join me in congratulating him 
and in extending our gratitude for all that he has done.
