                       Tuesday, November 27, 2018

  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Lieutenant Commander Victoria Marum on her separation from 
the United States Navy after 11 years of faithful service to our 
country.
  An esteemed member of the United States Navy, Lieutenant Commander 
Marum most recently served as a Liaison in the Navy's U.S. House of 
Representatives Liaison Office. In this capacity, she oversaw and led 
countless Congressional and staff delegations to naval installations 
throughout the United States and the world. These trips greatly helped 
members and their staffs achieve a greater understanding of the issues 
facing our Navy and its Sailors from all over the world.
  I was so grateful for Lieutenant Commander Marum's guidance during 
delegations that I

led abroad, as she always handled stressful situations and difficult 
individuals with poise, humor, and resourcefulness. The talent she 
exhibited on Capitol Hill will serve her well on every path she finds 
herself in the future.
  LCDR Marum attended the University of Florida and was commissioned as 
an Ensign in the United States Navy in 2007. She would later go on to 
earn her ``wings of gold'' and qualify as a Naval Aviator in 2009. 
Following her winging, LCDR Marum reported to Helicopter Maritime 
Strike Squadron 70 where she served from 2010 to 2013. LCDR Marum's 
awards and decorations include the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement 
Medal and other personal, campaign, and service ribbons.
  As LCDR Marum embarks on a new chapter in life, it is my hope that 
she may recall, with a deep sense of pride and accomplishment, the 
outstanding contributions she has made to the United States Navy, 
Congress, and our great nation.
  I wish her the very best and continued success in her future 
endeavors.
