        HONORING AND CONGRATULATING THE SERVICE OF EARL ANGELES

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. VICKY HARTZLER

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 22, 2022

  Mrs. HARTZLER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the dedicated 
service of Earl Angeles and congratulate him on his retirement. With 
over 38 years of federal service, Mr. Angeles recently worked as a 
Medical Technician with the 509th Healthcare Operations Squadron at 
Whiteman Air Force Base where he provided his peers with superior 
leadership, dedication, and an outstanding effort on a wide variety of 
projects and major programs that have impacted the Air Force Global 
Strike Command, and the United States Air Force.
  After serving an honorable 24 years in the United States Air Force, 
Mr. Angeles began his career as a Medical Technician in 2007 where he 
performed 64,000 tests annually for 12,000 beneficiaries in eight 
departments. He continuously worked to bring innovative methods to the 
medical group which includes creating specimen label printing 
capabilities that improved patient safety and saved the wing $2,600. He 
was coined by the squadron commander for his initiative.
  At the start of the global Coronavirus pandemic in 2020, Mr. Angeles 
played a pivotal role in the emergency response of Whiteman Air Force 
Base and the two following years, he assisted in processing 8,700 
Coronavirus disease samples, and the testing of over 3,000 rapid in-
house patient samples. Mr. Angeles also helped with the modernization 
of the laboratory's capabilities by putting into place three analyzers 
that have increased testing accuracy, and reduced result turnaround 
times by 97 percent.
  For over two decades, Mr. Angeles has devoted his service to the 
development of the laboratory where he has been a key asset to the wing 
and Whiteman Air Force Base. His extraordinary talents and 
determination have led him to win various awards and recognitions. It 
is a great honor that I recognize the dedicated service and retirement 
of Mr. Earl Angeles. Please join me in congratulating him for many 
years of service to our nation and to the United States Air Force.
