  Mr. KEVIN HERN of Oklahoma. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor the First 
District of Oklahoma's February Veteran of the Month, Megan Lowry.
  A Military Police Officer in the United States Marine Corps, Ms. 
Lowry honorably served our nation for three years. Following her 
military career, Megan served in the Secret Service during President 
George W. Bush's last term in office helping to protect the First 
Family from various threats. Due to her outstanding work with the 
Secret Service, Ms. Lowry was awarded the Presidential Service Badge 
for honorable service to the President of the United States and the 
White House. Upon returning home from service, Megan Lowry has 
dedicated her life to serving other veterans.
  Megan serves her fellow veterans who may be suffering from the 
invisible wounds that remain from their time in combat. Lowry is a 
service dog trainer for Wounded Veterans of Oklahoma and also works 
with the Pups4Patriots program which works to provide service animals 
to veterans free of charge.
  Ms. Lowry is a recent alumna of the University of Tulsa where she was 
an active member of their Student Veterans Association, which seeks to 
help transition returning servicemembers into collegiate life. Megan is 
also an active member of the Delaware Tribe, helping to preserve her 
native heritage for future generations.
  Megan Lowry lives a life of unmatched dedication, sacrifice, and 
service to our great nation. She answered the call to defend freedom, 
and she sacrificed whatever was necessary in the name of that noble 
cause. She continues to serve our country, community, and her fellow 
veterans at a high level on a daily basis. It is my honor to recognize 
Megan Lowry as the 1st Congressional District of Oklahoma's February 
Veteran of the Month.
