                         HON. ROBERT J. WITTMAN

                         Monday, April 1, 2019

  Mr. WITTMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the retirement 
of Chief Warrant Officer Veronica G. Wormly. As a member of the United 
States Military and current resident of Toano, Virginia, Veronica 
Wormly plans her summer 2019 retirement after a total of 34 years of 
service.
  Born in Texas, educated in the Midwest, and now residing in our First 
District, Veronica Wormly's career has taken her across this nation. 
After enlisting in the United States Army on February 29, 1984, Ms. 
Wormly quickly rose through the ranks. Beginning as a private in that 
same year, she soon became sergeant just four years later while 
remaining a Personnel Administrative Specialist in Oklahoma City. After 
a brief time as a Drill Sergeant in Winston Salem, North Carolina, Ms. 
Wormly began work for the 388th Medical Battalion in Kansas. In 1997 
she was commissioned as a member of the U.S. Army Reserves after 13 
years of active duty service and received a Liberal Arts degree at Fort 
Hays State University in 1998. Two years later she would also finish a 
Master of Science in Instructional Technology from that same 
university.
  With her degrees in hand, now-Chief Warrant Officer Wormly became a 
Military Personnel Technician for the 89th Regional Support Command 
until 2005, then moved to Germany as a Human Resource Technician. She 
then served as a Senior Leader Development Officer for both the 4th and 
5th Command Chief Warrant Officers of the Army in Crystal City and Fort 
Belvoir. Today, Ms. Wormly is the Senior Warrant Officer Advisor to the 
TRADOC Deputy Commanding General at Fort Eustis, Virginia.
  As an active and reserve member of the U.S. Army, Ms. Wormly received 
multiple decorations, service medals, and badges. These include the 
Kuwait Liberation Medal in 1991, the Army Reserves Overseas Training 
Ribbon in 1997, and the Meritorious Service Medal w/5 Oak Leaf Cluster 
in 2012. Along with her two degrees, Ms. Wormly has completed numerous 
officer training courses pertaining to our national security, and the 
wealth of information she has gained over the years is invaluable.
  Madam Speaker, I ask you to join me in recognizing the bounty of 
Veronica G. Wormly's accomplishments as she enters retirement, as her 
family also rejoices in the recognition of her lifetime of dutiful 
service.
