                      Thursday, February 11, 2021

  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate SD 
Gunner Fund's Britnee Kinard for receiving the President's Lifetime 
Achievement Award because of her outstanding service to fellow 
Americans. The AmeriCorp's President's Lifetime Achievement Award is 
the highest honor of the President's Volunteer Service Award, and it 
recognizes individuals, families, and groups who achieve a remarkable 
number of service hours.
  In receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award, Britnee is being 
recognized for her over 4,000 hours of service to ensure the 
continuation of America's unrivaled commitment to improving countless 
lives. Britnee is the founder and President of SD Gunner Fund, which is 
an incredible organization that assists veterans, exceptional children, 
and first responders in receiving vital resources such as service dogs, 
therapy dogs, emergency assistance, community advocacy and education, 
and much more.
  She was inspired to start the successful SD Gunner Fund when she left 
her high profile career in business to become a full-time caregiver to 
her husband after he suffered life-altering injuries while serving our 
country in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
  I want to thank Britnee for her selfless commitment to service 
through SD Gunner Fund, and I wish her the best. I'm extremely proud to 
have Britnee here in the First Congressional District of Georgia.
