                    HONORING THE CAREER OF STEVE LEE

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. BRAD R. WENSTRUP

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 11, 2024

  Mr. WENSTRUP. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the career of 
Gallipolis native and Civilian Aide to the Secretary of the Army, Steve 
Lee. Steve truly understands what service to our nation means.
  Steve has never forgotten about our nation's veterans. In 2004, Steve 
helped found one of the USO's largest annual events: Cincinnati's 
Tribute to the Troops, which has raised millions of dollars to help 
support the important work USOs do for our veterans.
  As a Civilian Aide to the Secretary of the Army, Steve played a 
critical role in connecting local communities with the Army. Through 
meeting with local community members, liaisons help communicate the 
concerns of the public with the Secretary of the Army. Liaisons like 
Steve also play an important role in recruitment and retention, as he 
served as the face of the Army to the local community.
  As a veteran myself, I have seen firsthand the impact Steve has had 
on our community and I want to thank him for his tireless commitment to 
the over 40,000 veterans who reside in southern Ohio.
