     HONORING THE DEDICATED SERVICE AND RETIREMENT OF MIRIAM FLORES

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. VICKY HARTZLER

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, November 15, 2021

  Mrs. HARTZLER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Miriam 
Flores, a dedicated public servant from Missouri's Fourth Congressional 
District.
  After 14 years of service with the Missouri Veterans Commission, 
Miriam will officially retire on November 30, 2021. During her time 
with the Missouri Veterans Commission, Miriam has been the first person 
with whom veterans and their family members see whenever they come to 
the Commission offices. While her role has officially been the Senior 
Office Support Assistant located in the St. Robert office, everyone 
knew Miriam went well beyond her role to impact people's lives in 
meaningful ways. She was the friendly smile and compassionate voice to 
veterans seeking assistance and the support for many Veteran Service 
Officers, always looking for ways to make their jobs easier and more 
efficient to serve those who served. During her tenure, she was the 
main administrative contact person for the southwestern and the new 
central region of Missouri.
  After her retirement, Miriam is looking forward to spending more time 
with her children and grandchildren. Please join me in congratulating 
Miriam Flores for her dedicated service to Missouri's veterans and 
their families.
