 RECOGNIZING VETERAN REMMIE CHEW, U.S. MARINE CORPS, AND HIS VOLUNTEER 
                                  WORK

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. A. DONALD McEACHIN

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, February 28, 2022

  Mr. McEACHIN. Madam Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
recognize and honor Mr. Remmie Chew for his service to our country and 
his continuing service to our Richmond community.
  Mr. Chew served in the United States Marine Corps for sixteen years, 
and was stationed across the globe, from Okinawa, Japan to Camp Lejeune 
in North Carolina. He now continues his service in the Richmond 
community with his non-profit organization, A Servant's Heart Ministry, 
that collects goods and distributes them to those experiencing 
homelessness.
  His inspiration for his non-profit came while getting his master's 
degree at Virginia Union University's School of Theology in 2020. As a 
fellow alumnus of that venerable institution, I have the utmost respect 
for the way Mr. Chew lives the values we learned. As churches and 
others serve meals, it was important to Mr. Chew to provide food, 
clothing, and other essential items to the people of Richmond, wherever 
they may be.
  Instead of looking for praise, Mr. Chew finds reward with helping and 
making connections with our communities. Mr. Chew's dedication to 
others, both in our Richmond communities and to our nation during his 
time in the U.S. Marine Corps, exemplifies his selfless service.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Mr. 
Remmie Chew for his devotion and service to the public good, to our 
communities, and to our Nation.
