                     RECOGNIZING MRS. STACY COGGIN

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. MIKE BOST

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 16, 2022

  Mr. BOST. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and congratulate a 
dedicated professional with the Department of Veterans Affairs on the 
occasion of her retirement. Mrs. Stacy Coggin is an exemplary public 
servant who has demonstrated the highest standards of professionalism 
on a daily basis. She has served with the Department of Veterans 
Affairs, Office for Congressional and Legislative Affairs the last five 
years of her more than 22 years in federal service. Her career in 
faithful public service is a testament to the importance of selfless 
service.
  For the last 5 years, Mrs. Coggin served as Congressional Relations 
Officer in the office of Congressional and Legislative Affairs. She has 
been involved in a remarkable breadth of important VA programs across 
the Department including compensation and benefits claims, appeals, and 
field operations. In this capacity, she spearheaded support for more 
than nine hundred Congressional oversight actions, from requests for 
information to Committee on Veterans' Affairs hearings, helping this 
body ensure our Nation's veterans and their families receive the care 
and benefits they deserve.
  As Mrs. Coggin embarks on a new chapter in life, it is my hope that 
she may recall, with a deep sense of pride and accomplishment, the 
outstanding contributions she has made to the Department of Veterans 
Affairs, the House Veterans' Affairs Committee, and the veterans of the 
United States. May her life be filled with health and happiness.
