  Mr. WITTMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Bobbiejo 
Lazo for receiving the Veterans of Foreign Distinguished Service Award. 
Bobbiejo has been the department of Virginia's State Service Officer 
for 7 years, and previously served as Post Junior Vice Commander. As 
State Service Officer, Bobbiejo has built a new organization to assist 
veterans from the ground through hiring and training personnel. Over 
the course of 7 years, Bobbiejo was able to lead her team in providing 
crucial high-quality support to veterans.
  Bobbiejo served in the Army for 6 years and earned her Veteran of 
Foreign War eligibility bravely fighting in Operation Iraqi Freedom. 
Her bravery has earned her numerous other military accolades including 
the Army Commendation Medal, National Defense Service Medal, and 
Terrorism Expeditionary Medal.
  Madam Speaker, I ask you to join me in recognizing the 
accomplishments of Bobbiejo Lazo. Words alone cannot express our 
gratitude for her service and excellent support of Veterans. May God 
bless Bobbiejo as she continues to serve her nation and our veterans. I 
look forward to seeing her continued excellence.
