                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 3, 2021

  Ms. STEFANIK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Steve Bowman on 
the occasion of his retirement as the Veterans Services Agency Director 
for Clinton County, New York.
  Steve has dedicated his life to the well-being of his country and his 
community. He served honorably in the United States Air Force for 18 
years before retiring in 1994. In 2004, Steve was appointed as the 
Director of Veterans Services Agency for Clinton County. In this role, 
he has worked tirelessly to support the veteran community, serving a 
staggering 800 veterans a month on average. Throughout my time in 
Congress, Steve has been a vital resource, working closely with my 
office to assist veterans throughout the North Country.
  In addition to his work as the Director of Veterans Services, he is a 
member of the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Disabled 
American Veterans, and the North Country Veterans Association. Finally, 
on top of everything he has done for the Clinton County veteran 
community, Steve and his wife Gail are also small business owners, 
operating a family diner in Rouses Point.
  On behalf of New York's 21st Congressional District, I would like to 
thank Steve and congratulate him on reaching this important milestone. 
His dedication to our North Country veterans has left a significant 
impact on the community. I wish him all the best in this next chapter 
of his life.
