                       Tuesday, November 29, 2022

  Mr. LEVIN of California. Madam Speaker, it is my great honor to 
recognize Master Sergeant Rudy Moreno, United States Air Force 
(Retired) as my November Constituent of the Month. Master Sergeant 
Moreno is a retired combat engineer who served in the United States Air 
Force for 20 years and has gone above and beyond to enrich our 
community.
  After retiring from the Air Force in 2013, Master Sergeant Moreno 
returned to our community and began working as an Engineering 
Technician at Camp Pendleton. However, his service to our region does 
not end there. In 2017, he founded Helping Everyone Reach Opportunity 
(H.E.R.O.) Inc., a non-profit to instill discipline, encouragement, and 
accountability in at-risk youth through boxing and fitness. The program 
offers a safe and positive training environment for people ages 10 to 
mid-20s who are at risk of joining gangs or doing drugs. When the 
program's usual training space in Vista was no longer available due to 
the pandemic, Master Sergeant Moreno decided to create a boxing gym in 
his backyard so he could continue improving participants' mental and 
physical health.
  During Veterans and Military Families Month, I am proud to honor an 
esteemed veteran like Master Sergeant Moreno, who bravely served our 
country and continues to contribute to our unique and beautiful 
district. His expansive military background and passion to improve the 
lives of others is honorable and it is why I am proud to honor Master 
Sergeant Rudy Moreno, United States Air Force (Retired) as my November 
Constituent of the Month.
