                           HONORING JAN LENTZ

  (Mr. PFLUGER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PFLUGER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a lifelong public 
servant and valuable member of the Texas-11 team, Mrs. Jan Lentz.
  For 7 years, Jan has devoted her time and talents to our district as 
a constituent services aide. She previously served with the VA, West 
Texas Counseling and Guidance, and many other organizations and has led 
a veterans support group for over 15 years, most of this as a 
volunteer.
  Jan's impact on our community exceeds everything beyond words, and 
her service has extended far beyond our district. She has literally 
impacted thousands of lives, veteran lives and family member lives, and 
so many in need in our community.
  Over the years, Jan has secured countless benefits for veterans and 
has impacted thousands of veteran families. Last year alone, she 
returned over $100,000 in taxes back to constituents.
  Jan is someone who we all wish we could be.
  As she moves into the next phase of her life in retirement, we want 
Jan to know that we are grateful for her service. We are grateful for 
what she has done for our community, veterans, and so many people in 
need.
  I say thank you to Jan from the bottom of our hearts, from our team, 
our district, and the State of Texas. We all wish Jan good luck in 
retirement.
