     IN RECOGNITION OF THE CAREER OF MAJOR SERGEANT HUNTER SORRELLS

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. MIKE GALLAGHER

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 12, 2022

  Mr. GALLAGHER. Madam Speaker, today I rise to honor the career of 
retiring United States Marine Corps Master Sergeant Hunter Sorrells.
  During his time as a Marine Corps fellow in my office, Master 
Sergeant Sorrells served our men and women in uniform, along with the 
veteran community of Northeast Wisconsin, with the utmost dedication 
and professionalism. His intelligence, tenacity, and devotion to 
helping others made him a beloved and invaluable member of my team. His 
relentless advocacy on behalf of Northeast Wisconsin veterans changed 
the lives of multiple individuals in my district and delivered for them 
the benefits they earned in service of our Nation.
  There is no better example of Master Sergeant Sorrells' dedication to 
his fellow men and women in uniform--particularly Marines--than his 
efforts to recover the Camp Reasoner base sign from Vietnam. After 
being informed of the issue, he dove into action and not only gathered 
bipartisan support, but expertly worked through the logistics that 
would be required to bring the sign home to American soil. Thanks to 
his perseverance, all Marines then serving in the House of 
Representatives signed onto a letter bringing the issue to the 
attention of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. Throughout his time in my 
office, Master Sergeant Sorrells exemplified the highest standards and 
values of the United States Marine Corps. I am privileged to have had 
the opportunity to work alongside this great American.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in recognizing Master Sergeant Hunter 
Sorrells' exemplary career in the Marine Corps and wishing him all the 
best in retirement. Our Nation is safer, and the Northeast Wisconsin 
community is better, because of his service.
