                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, January 13, 2016

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize and congratulate 
Deborah Rusher of Council Bluffs, Iowa, for being honored by AARP for 
her service as a family caregiver during the National Family Caregivers 
Month. She is the only Iowan to receive this recognition in 2015.
  Deborah serves as a professional and family caregiver. She started 
her career working in a nursing home at the age of 16. She then became 
a nursing assistant before continuing her education at Iowa Western 
Community College in nursing. Her training has been vital in providing 
hospice care for her mother. Currently, Deborah is caring for her 87-
year old Father, Carl Belt. Deborah sees her work as a wonderful way to 
help loved ones and embraces her role as a family caregiver.
  Mr. Speaker, I applaud and congratulate Deborah for earning this 
special recognition. It is because of Iowans like her that I'm proud to 
represent our great state. I ask that my colleagues in the United 
States House of Representatives join me in congratulating Deborah for 
receiving this outstanding recognition. I wish her nothing but 
continued success and the very best moving forward.
