  Mr. COLLINS of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Lloyd 
Knight. Lloyd was recently awarded the Jim Casey Community Service 
Award--one of the highest awards given to United Parcel Service 
employees.
  Lloyd has been a part of the UPS team for over 10 years, joining the 
company after spending 20 years in the United States Air Force. Over 
his time at UPS, he rose to the position of Global Forwarding Freight 
Director and founded the UPS Veterans Business Resource Group.
  A veteran himself, Lloyd helped found VETLANTA, an organization 
committed to bringing together the business community, non-profits, and 
government to help make the Atlanta region the best destination in the 
country for veterans. Additionally, Lloyd dedicates his spare time to 
veterans through his involvement in Hire Heroes USA and American 
Corporate Partners.
  Lloyd has served both his country and neighbors in Georgia through 
his tireless service, leaving a lasting impact on local veterans and 
his community.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to thank Lloyd for the compassion he has shown 
others and congratulate him on this well-deserved honor.
