  Ms. SINEMA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Greg King and the 
Arizona Medical Eye Unit. The Arizona Medical Eye Unit (AMEU) was 
established in 1976 to deliver free, high quality medical eye care to 
underserved and rural communities across Arizona that have little to no 
access to eye care professionals. Ophthalmologists in Arizona volunteer 
to staff the clinic and give back to the local community. The AMEU 
works with community health centers, local schools, rural hospitals, 
elderly homes, and tribal communities throughout Arizona to reduce the 
burden of eye disease and improve quality of life throughout Arizona.
  Mr. King has served as the Director of the AMEU since 1978. He 
dedicated his career to ensuring all Arizonans have access to eye care 
and he travelled to nearly every corner of our great state to achieve 
his goals. In the process, he developed unique knowledge of the eye-
care needs of communities all over Arizona. By leading by example and 
inspiring others to give back, he always has a trained professional 
willing to staff the AMEU and provide services. Mr. King has been 
essential to the success of the program and changed the lives of 
countless Arizonans.
  I thank Mr. King for his years of dedicated service and the AMEU team 
that works to serve Arizonans across the state.
