  Mr. DeSAULNIER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the service of 
Nasser AbouKhalil.
  Throughout his life, Nasser has shown his commitment to supporting 
patients and providing a space for advocacy and healing in the 
community. Nasser was born in Tyr, Lebanon and graduated from the 
University of the Pacific in Stockton, California. He opened the Alamo 
Pharmacy in 1987. In 1997, he opened the Oak Grove Pharmacy in Concord, 
California where it remains a staple in our community.
  Through his work, Nasser practices compassionate care and 
comprehensive support. He believes in not only ensuring that patients 
have the appropriate medications, but also offering individualized 
health care advice and cost-effective alternatives. Nasser also takes 
pride in mentoring aspiring health care professionals in the pharmacy. 
providing them real-world experience to prepare them as they enter the 
medical field and work to serve their communities.
  In addition to his professional work, Nasser is also an advocate for 
the Lebanese community in the Bay Area where he volunteers with the 
Lebanese American Association.
  Please join me in recognizing Nasser AbouKhalil for his leadership 
and invaluable contributions to our community.
