                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. DENNY HECK

                             of washington

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 21, 2019

  Mr. HECK. Madam Speaker, today I recognize Major Sean M. Donohue of 
the United States Army for his extraordinary dedication to duty and 
service to our Nation. Major Donohue will soon transition from his 
current assignment as an Army Congressional Liaison in the House of 
Representatives to serve as the Command Surgeon for the Center for 
Initial Military Training at the US Army Training and Doctrine Command. 
This unit is the largest charged with training all initial entry 
Soldiers in the Army.
  A native of Tacoma, WA, Sean began his military career after 
graduating from the University of Puget Sound, enlisting after the 9/11 
attacks as a medic in 2002. Sean was commissioned in 2009, completed 
his clinical training as a Physician Assistant at Fort Carson and 
promptly deployed to Afghanistan as a Battalion Surgeon with the 173rd 
Airborne Brigade Combat Team. Since then, Sean has served in numerous 
leadership and staff positions around the world. His wife is a 
dedicated military spouse, Lexey, and they have three boys: William, 
Jack and Maximus.
  In 2017, Army Medicine selected Major Donohue to serve as Legislative 
Liaison to serve in the Army House Liaison Office. In his role as a 
legislative liaison, Major Donohue served as the primary liaison 
between Members of the 115th and 116th Congresses, their Staff, 
Legislative Committees, and the U.S. Army. In this role, he planned, 
coordinated, and accompanied Congressional and Staff Delegations on 
numerous worldwide fact-finding and investigative missions and built 
the relationships and trust needed to increase the trust and confidence 
the U.S. Congress has in the U.S. Army.
  Madam Speaker, it is my honor to recognize the selfless service of 
Major Sean M. Donohue and his family as they proceed to the next 
chapter in his remarkable career as they continue to serve our great 
Nation.
