                        Tuesday, April 30, 2024

  Mr. GAETZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Mr. Randal Messer as the 
2023-2024 Walton County Educational Support Professional of the Year. 
For the past thirty-three years, Mr. Messer has served the Walton 
County School District with exceptional passion and an unwavering 
commitment to serving others.
  In Northwest Florida, we are fortunate to have some of the best 
educational support professionals in the Nation. It is recognized that 
the position of Paraprofessional can be taxing but can also be so 
rewarding. Mr. Messer performs his many duties without question or 
hesitation and does so with enthusiasm and a commitment to cultivate a 
safe and healthy school environment.
  Mr. Messer is revered by his Principal and colleagues for his 
positive attitude and willingness to go above and beyond the scope of 
his job duties. He is often asked for input to adjust or problem solve 
at his school. He selflessly considers the needs of both students and 
staff because of the immense pride he has for his school.
  Mr. Messer's support and outreach extend far beyond the walls of the 
school. He is always willing to help wherever assistance is needed. Mr. 
Messer has displayed dedicated teamwork by providing staff and students 
with technology support and is always willing to lend a helping hand. I 
commend him for his steadfast willingness to serve as an example for 
those that matter most, the students and youth of our Nation.
  For all his admirable contributions, I am truly proud to have Mr. 
Randal Messer as a constituent in Florida's First Congressional 
District.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the United States Congress, I am privileged 
to recognize Mr. Randal Messer for his accomplishments and his 
commitment to excellence, professionalism, innovation, and 
collaboration in the Walton County School District. I thank him for his 
service and wish him all the best for continued success.
