                      TRIBUTE TO DR. THOMAS DAVIS

 Mr. SCHMITT. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize an 
outstanding Missourian, Dr. Thomas Davis. Dr. Davis is an internal 
medicine physician with the Veterans' Affairs Community-Based 
Outpatient Clinic in Marshfield, MO.
  Recently, Dr. Davis announced he would be retiring at the end of the 
year, closing out a distinguished medical career that spans 46 years. 
The last 20 of those years have been spent caring for our Nation's 
heroes at the Department of Veterans' Affairs. For the last 10 years, 
Dr. Davis has been at the Marshfield clinic, which is one of eight 
outpatient veterans clinics connected to the Harry S. Truman Memorial 
Veterans Hospital in Columbia, MO. Dr. Davis serves approximately 800 
veterans in Marshfield and the surrounding area.
  Dr. Davis graduated from the St. Louis University School of Medicine 
in 1977 and completed his residency in internal medicine at Mercy 
Hospital in St. Louis in 1980. He has been a board-certified physician 
in the State of Missouri for 46 years. In his retirement, Dr. Davis 
looks forward to spending time with his wife, two daughters, and three 
grandchildren.
  I applaud Dr. Davis for his 46 years of commitment, dedication, and 
selfless service to medicine and caring for his patients, especially 
American heroes he has cared for over the years. I ask my Senate 
colleagues to join me in honoring his impressive career and wish him 
the best in his well-deserved retirement.
