                        Friday, August 23, 2024

  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life 
and legacy of Mark Myers, who served as the Vice President of the 
National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) Branch 79 Seattle.
  Mark served as NALC's legislative liaison to my office for many 
years. He was a constant advocate for the voices and needs of his 
union's members. He was a very effective advocate and all that were 
]ucky enough to know Mark know that he was both sincere and kind in all 
that he did.
  Throughout his life, Mark embodied what it truly means to serve. Mark 
served his union through his work with my office, but a]so through his 
work at the Martin Luther King, Jr. County Labor Council and the 
Washington State Labor Council. Not only was Mark the current Vice 
President of the NALC Branch 79 Seattle, but he had also served as 
Secretary-Treasurer and made history as the only retiree re-elected for 
three consecutive terms.
  Mark spent his time outside of work continuing to serve his 
community. He was a former member of the Highline Community Council and 
a devout member of his local church, the Saint Francis of Assisi Parish 
in Burien.
  Mark is a shining example of true leadership and commitment. I 
appreciate his many years of service working with my office, as well as 
all of his service to our community. He will be deeply missed.
