                            HON. JAMES COMER

                              of kentucky

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, September 4, 2018

  Mr. COMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ms. Virginia Staton 
DeRossett who will soon be celebrating her 95th birthday on November 1, 
2018. A resident of Clinton County in the First District of Kentucky, 
Ms. DeRossett diligently served her country throughout her twenty-year 
tenure at the Pentagon. In addition to her civil service during World 
War II and the Korean war, her three brothers served in our nation's 
military, further solidifying her sense of duty.
   An exemplary community servant, Ms. DeRossett retired from the 
Pentagon in 1962 and is still an active, engaged member of the 
community who continually seeks opportunities to better the lives of 
her fellow citizens.
   Ms. DeRossett's patriotic spirit and dedication to her country are 
rivaled only by her fervent commitment to her family and her 
conservative ideology. I join with her family and loved ones--including 
her daughter and her extended family--in celebrating her lifetime of 
accomplishments and recognizing her valiant efforts to safeguard our 
nation's freedoms.
