                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. ANTHONY G. BROWN

                              of maryland

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, August 10, 2021

  Mr. BROWN. Madam Speaker, today I honor a superb leader, liaison and 
soldier for her tireless commitment to the United States Army which 
include three years of service with the Army Office of the Legislative 
Liaison. During 2019, Major Brittany Weightman served in the Washington 
office of the Fourth Congressional District of Maryland and went on to 
serve as an Army Legislative Liaison in the Senate. As Major Brittany 
Weightman prepares to go to the Defense Programs Support Activity, in 
Elkridge, Maryland, I believe it is fitting to recognize her dedication 
to fostering the relationship between the U.S. Army and Congress.
  Major Weightman was essential to the office. She worked to solidify 
important legislation in the National Defense Authorization Act, proved 
invaluable in educating Members and staff on Army combat systems, 
modernization programs, and policy initiatives.
  Major Weightman has deployed three times: twice to Iraq and once to 
Afghanistan. She is the recipient of the multiple Bronze Star Medals, 
Combat Action Badge, Meritorious Service Medals, and many other 
deserved awards.
  I am thankful for her commitment to America and this Chamber will 
feel Major Weightman's absence. I join many past and present Members of 
Congress in my gratitude and appreciation to Major Weightman for her 
outstanding leadership and unwavering support.
