                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, December 11, 2015

  Mr. RYAN of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the service of 
Jennifer L. Baun of Youngstown, Ohio who served in the U.S. Navy. Today 
she serves veterans and the greater community and has been recognized 
for her outstanding work with induction into the Ohio Veterans Hall of 
Fame.
   While Jennifer works full-time in the pharmaceutical industry, she 
spends a great deal of her free time helping veterans. Jenn is the 
president of the Northeast Ohio Women Veterans Unit 21, a chapter of 
the Military Women Across the Nation veterans group, an organization 
dedicated to women who proudly served in the military. She is vice 
chair of the Ohio Department of Veterans Services Advisory Committee on 
Women Veterans and was instrumental in seeking sponsorship for the 
biennial Ohio Women Veterans Conferences. Additionally, Jenn worked 
diligently on the movement of legislation supporting the Ohio Women 
Veterans license plate. In May of 2015, Jenn was a finalist for the 
Athena Leadership Award for the exceptional impact and leadership she 
has made in her career and community.
   Despite having already given so much, Jenn's commitment to giving 
even more and helping her fellow veterans is a source of inspiration to 
me, and our whole community. On behalf of the whole community, I would 
like to congratulate Jennifer on this most recent honor, and offer my 
sincere thanks for the work she has done, and will no doubt continue to 
do for fellow veterans in our community.
