                        Friday, October 28, 2022

  Mr. BURCHETT. Madam Speaker, I want to honor Tennessee's Second 
District's October Veteran of the Month, Seaman Nathan Weinbaum. He 
served our country in the U.S. Navy for nearly five years as an 
Electronic Technician for Ohio Class Submarine Communications.
  Nathan earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Human Ecology from 
the University of Tennessee. After the 9/11 attacks, Nathan was 
inspired to join the armed forces to protect his country, and he joined 
the Navy as a submarine radioman.
  He was assigned to Bangor Naval Base in Washington State, where his 
duties included Control and Operation Submarine communications systems. 
During his time on the Submarine, he completed five strategic deterrent 
patrols aboard the U.S.S. Louisiana Ballistic Missile Submarine.
  After he retired, he was still dedicated to helping his fellow 
servicemembers. He currently serves as Blount County's Director of 
Veterans Affairs, where he has focused on expanding the use of social 
media to help veterans and their dependents. He has also helped 
countless veterans get their VA benefits and honorary high school 
diplomas and services medals they hadn't received, including four 
Purple Hearts. In 2013, he was awarded the State of Tennessee County 
Veterans Service Officer of the Year Award for his above-and-beyond 
service for his fellow veterans.
  He is married to his lovely wife Cheval and they have a daughter 
Caitlyn.
  Our country's heroes are the men and women of our armed forces, like 
Seaman Nathan Weinbaum, and it's my honor to recognize him as our 
Veteran of the Month. I thank Nathan for his service, and for his 
dedication to helping his fellow veterans.
