                      Thursday, December 21, 2017

  Ms. CHENEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to extend my congratulations to 
Chief Petty Officer Jim Marshall on receiving a 2017 Spirit of Hope 
Award.
  The Spirit of Hope Award recognizes six people or organizations 
across the country every year for their contributions to improving the 
lives of servicemembers and their families. Jim's selection for this 
award is a reflection of his dedication and many contributions to our 
great country and community.
  Jim has spearheaded various events for servicemembers and their 
families, from Navy Balls to toy drives. He also has played an 
important role in strengthening the relationship between members of all 
branches of the military, especially the Navy, and our community. His 
outstanding patriotism and service to our community warrants his 
recognition as the first Wyomingite to receive this award.
  Again, Mr. Speaker, I would like to extend my congratulations to 
Chief Petty Officer Jim Marshall and thank him for his incredible 
service to our country and state.

                          ____________________
