                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, October 27, 2021

  Mr. BAIRD. Madam Speaker, today I rise to honor a dedicated public 
servant and distinguished member of our community, Captain Lori Turpin.
  In 1971, Lori was sworn into the Navy Nurse Corps Scholarship 
program. For the following 30 years, she traveled the world providing 
medical care for members of our military.
  Throughout her time in the Navy, she cared for service men and women 
throughout the United States and across the world in countries like 
Italy and Japan.
  Following her retirement from the United States Navy in 2001, Captain 
Turpin's commitment and sense of duty was repurposed, as she continued 
to compassionately serve her community and American veterans.
  Since 2007, Lori served as a Hendricks County Veterans Service 
Officer where she has truly embraced the mission to help veterans 
achieve a better life and support their community.
  Lori's service led her to receive numerous awards and recognitions 
including numerous commendation medals from the United States Navy and 
the Sagamore of the Wabash, one of Indiana's highest honors.
  I want to congratulate Captain Turpin on a great career of dedicated 
service to the United States and wish her the very best in her 
retirement.
