  Ms. SPANBERGER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. Tyrone Logan, 
the U.S. Small Business Administration's 2023 Small Business Person of 
the Year for the Virginia District Office.
  Over the last 40 years, America's strongest economic growth has been 
driven by small businesses and their employees. Currently, small 
businesses employ half of our country's workers. Entrepreneurs like Mr. 
Logan are an example of the American Dream, and today we celebrate his 
hard work and innovation.
  Mr. Logan has an unwavering record of serving our Commonwealth and 
our country. He started his military career with the U.S. Marine Corps 
and later transitioned to the U.S. Navy, where he took part in 
Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom. During his time with the 
armed forces, he served as a Master Explosive Ordinance Disposal 
Technician and supported Special Operations Forces and Ground Combat 
Elements.
  In 2010, Mr. Logan co-founded Obsidian Solutions Group, a company 
focused on America's homeland security, private sector security, and 
overall national security. Today, he serves as Obsidian Solutions 
Group's CEO, where he leads a team that focuses on integrating 
innovation and technology. Obsidian Solutions Group is an adaptive and 
flexible organization that emphasizes service and remains focused on 
putting mission first--working directly with our defense and 
intelligence communities to keep our communities safe. That's why 
Virginia's Seventh District is proud to be the home of OSG facilities, 
showrooms, and--most of all--its dedicated employees.

  Mr. Logan's leadership is clear. In 2019, OSG was recognized as one 
of the 50 Fastest Growing Companies in the Washington, D.C. Metro Area. 
Additionally, Obsidian Solutions Group was listed as one of the most 
successful businesses on the INC 5000 list. And in 2020, Mr. Logan was 
named Entrepreneur of the Year by the Fredericksburg Regional Chamber 
of Commerce. Today, we celebrate another achievement of many more to 
come.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Tyrone 
Logan, the U.S. Small Business Administration's 2023 Small Business 
Person of the Year for the Virginia District Office.
