                       IN HONOR OF MS. SUE SWANN

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. ROBERT J. WITTMAN

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 18, 2019

  Mr. WITTMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Ms. Sue 
Swann's forty years of service to the Essex County Department of Social 
Security.
  Ms. Swann was known as a diligent and determined employee who gave 
everyone she worked with countless reasons to admire her work ethic. 
Not only did she dedicate four decades of her life to the Department, 
but she worked three years in other state offices as well.
  At work, she was frequently requested personally by clients for face-
to-face meetings to discuss the benefits entitled to them. She did her 
job with unmatched compassion and care. Over forty years, she decided 
to stay in her position and reject countless promotions. Had she chosen 
to move to other localities, she could have been a Benefit Program 
Specialist 4 or 5, but because of the passion she has for what she did, 
she remained a Specialist.
  Ms. Swann plans to go into retirement now after decades of her 
tremendous work, and I wish her the best of luck in her future 
endeavors.
  Madam Speaker, I ask you to join me in honoring the service of this 
great woman, Ms. Sue Swann, to the people of Virginia's 1st District, 
to the Commonwealth of Virginia, and to the entirety of our great 
nation. May God bless Sue and her family for her countless hours of 
labor in service to her country.
