                          HON. J. FRENCH HILL

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 29, 2022

   Mr. HILL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate my fellow 
Arkansan, Mrs. Lois Callahan, on being named the national chaplain of 
the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States Auxiliary.
  Mrs. Callahan was inspired to join the auxiliary in 1990 by her 
father, the late Ruben Tamariz of Bryant, who served our nation for 26 
years--including time served in both Korea and Vietnam.
  Mrs. Callahan is a retired pediatric occupational therapist, and 
current life member of the Thaddeus H. Caraway Auxiliary 2278 in Hot 
Springs.
  In her new role, Mrs. Callahan will be providing spiritual leadership 
and encouragement for the organization, which consists of roughly 
475,000 members across the nation.
  I thank her for her service and dedication to our nation's veterans. 
Her devotion to faith, family, and community does not go unnoticed.
  I Congratulate, Lois.
