  Ms. TLAIB. Mr. Speaker, today I want to recognize Lieutenant Colonel 
Grace E. Miller for her service serving in the Secretary of the Air 
Force House Liaison Office since January 2022.
  Lieutenant Colonel Miller received her commission through the Air 
Force ROTC program at the University of St. Thomas in 2006. She began 
her active-duty career as Assistant Officer in Charge, Blue Aircraft 
Maintenance Unit, 62nd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron at McChord Air 
Force Base, Washington. During this assignment, she deployed in support 
of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom, and Operation 
Deep Freeze. In 2009, she received an AFIT Civilian Institution Program 
sponsorship to attend the English Literature Master of Arts program at 
the Pennsylvania State University. She completed her degree in 2010 and 
then taught at the United States Academy until 2014, achieving the 
academic rank of assistant professor and serving as Executive Officer 
to the Dean of the Faculty.
  She joined the Air Force Reserve in 2014, serving as Maintenance 
Operations Officer of the 934th Maintenance Squadron. In 2016, she 
deployed as Aircraft Maintenance Squadron Maintenance Operations 
Officer at the 386th Air Expeditionary Wing in support of Operation 
Inherent Resolve. On her return, she took command of the 934th Aircraft 
Maintenance Squadron, where she led 110 personnel maintaining eight C-
130H aircraft to provide combat airlift worldwide. During her time at 
the 934th, she pursued her doctoral degree at the University of 
Minnesota, graduating in 2018. In 2020, she was selected for the Air 
Force Legislative Fellows program and served in the State Department 
and then in the office of Senator Moran.
  Please join me in recognizing Lieutenant Colonel Miller for her 
tireless dedication and service to our Nation.
