                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, December 14, 2023

  Mr. KILDEE. Mr. Speaker, I ask the House of Representatives to join 
me in recognizing Ms. Lucetia Manwaring as she marks her retirement 
from public service after 30 years as a congressional staff member. As 
a Casework Manager in my office, Ms. Manwaring has established herself 
as a dedicated and distinguished professional with a demonstrated 
record of achievement.
  Lucetia has served our country in many ways, including in the U.S. 
Navy from 1989 to 1993. During this time, she served on the U.S. Navy 
Submarine Base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii; Nuclear Repair Division; served 
honorably in U.S. Desert Storm campaign; and was a member of the U.S. 
Ready Reserve from 1993 to 2000. In addition, she has received several 
awards, including the Navy Wide Command Award, the National Defense 
Service Medal for Desert Storm, and a Naval Citation.
  Lucetia received her Master of Science in Human Services from Capella 
University, and her Bachelor of Business Administration from Davenport 
University. She was a member of the Dean's List upon completing both 
degrees. Since 1994, Ms. Manwaring has helped thousands of constituents 
throughout the state of Michigan. Her tenure began as a staff member 
for my uncle, retired U.S. Congressman Dale Kildee. She met Congressman 
Dale Kildee while serving in the Navy and began her career as a staff 
member shortly thereafter. Upon his retirement, I was grateful to have 
her join my staff as well.
  Ms. Manwaring's career is a true example of public service. 
Throughout her career she has been a tireless advocate for her 
community and her work has had a lasting impact on the lives of 
hundreds of Michiganders. I am grateful to be represented by such 
dedicated employees who work hard to make our community and Nation a 
better place.
  Mr. Speaker, I applaud Ms. Lucetia Manwaring for her unwavering 
commitment to public service and extend my heartfelt gratitude for her 
years of service to our great country.
