                       RECOGNIZING MARTHA RUTHVEN

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I am grateful to recognize 
Martha Ruthven for her service for the Second Congressional District of 
South Carolina. Martha has been an invaluable team member for nearly 9 
years, dedicated to constituent service.
  Moving from North Carolina after her nuclear physicist stepfather 
accepted a position at the Savannah River Site, Martha began her love 
of the Palmetto State.
  Working in the Congressional Aiken/Barnwell office, Martha quickly 
became embedded in the community, attending events, meetings, and 
advancing constituent services. As deputy district director, Martha has 
long been a trusted adviser to the many thousands she has assisted.
  I appreciate she will remain in Aiken. In fact, she will be heading 
to Savannah River Nuclear Solutions to continue community relations. I 
wish the best to Martha and her husband, K.T., a respected Realtor and 
president of Aiken Republican Club.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, who successfully protected 
America for 20 years, as the global war on terrorism continues moving 
from the Afghanistan safe haven to America.
  Our prayers for the courageous people of Ukraine resisting war 
criminal Putin, who is sacrificing young Russians for Putin's oil, 
money, and power.
