                        Thursday, June 20, 2019

  Mr. KEVIN HERN of Oklahoma. Madam Speaker, I rise today to 
commemorate the retirement of Sandy Oxford and thank this outstanding 
Oklahoman for her service to my community.
  Ms. Oxford served as an Army clerk during the Vietnam era, eventually 
switching to the Navy where she was one of their top recruiters.
  Back home in Tulsa, she served as the office manager for the Tulsa 
Vet Center. Additionally, Ms. Oxford faithfully served as the chair of 
the Mayor of Tulsa's Veteran Advisory Council. She served in this role 
with great dedication for 10 years, never missing a single meeting.
  She has worked tirelessly to improve the lives of veterans, including 
work on suicide prevention initiatives and Vietnam Veteran 
commemoration ceremonies.
  To thank Ms. Oxford for her service, Tulsa's Mayor Bynum presented 
her a key to the city and declared May 16th ``Sandy Oxford Day'' in 
Tulsa.
  I am honored to recognize Sandy Oxford as she attends her final 
meeting of the advisory council today. Her commitment to the City of 
Tulsa will not soon be forgotten.
