                         HON. ROBERT J. WITTMAN

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, January 13, 2020

  Mr. WITTMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the 
exceptional service of Ms. Kathy Lange, who served as the Congressional 
Liaison and Patient Advocate at the Hunter Holmes McGuire VA Medical 
Center in Richmond, Virginia.
  Kathy began her Federal service career in 1999 with the DEA and has 
since put in over 21 years of dedicated service. From 2009 to 2015 she 
served as the Director's secretary at the Richmond VA Medical Center, 
playing an invaluable role within the support team. She then progressed 
to become a Congressional Liaison/Patient Advocate in 2015 where she 
has served until her retirement this year.
  Kathy's exceptional service to Virginia veterans is unmatched in her 
compassion and dedication. In her years as a Congressional Liaison, she 
assisted the Virginia Congressional Delegation's staff with veteran's 
casework needs, highlighting her passion to provide excellent service. 
She often goes above and beyond to ensure the needs of veterans and 
staff are met. She will certainly be missed in her retirement.
  Therefore, Madam Speaker, I ask you to join me in recognizing Ms. 
Lange and congratulating her on a job well done. On behalf of America's 
First District, we say thank you.

                          ____________________
