                       Monday, December 11, 2023

  Mr. ISSA. Mr. Speaker, today I take a moment to recognize Army 
Captain Kirk R. Proctor, Jr., an exceptional Officer, leader and public 
servant.
  Cpt. Proctor has concluded a year as a member of my legislative team, 
and within this duration, he has made a real impact on a multitude of 
defense, national security, and foreign affairs policy initiatives.
  His on-the-ground perspective bolstered by my team's analysis--from 
how the industrial base ties into the operational force, to explaining 
the evolution of military medicine, and how readiness initiatives 
intersect with military family quality of life. Furthermore, Cpt. 
Proctor has inspired colleagues to learn more about the defense 
industry through his application of institutional knowledge and hard-
earned experiences.
  Cpt. Proctor's unwavering dedication to my office and contributions 
to Congress have not gone unnoticed. His commitment to the American 
people and passion for public service is admirable, and I hope he is 
offered the most unique opportunities and enriching assignments as he 
continues his career as an Army Officer. I wish Cpt. Proctor and his 
wife Sabia the best of luck as he begins his next assignment as a 
legislative liaison, and I look forward to seeing him lead in the years 
to come.
  On behalf of the U.S. Congress and a grateful Nation, I extend my 
deepest appreciation to Captain Kirk R. Proctor, Jr., and I 
congratulate him as he continues a career of public service within the 
U.S. Army and to our Nation.
