  Mr. SCOTT of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate a 
remarkable individual and a significant milestone. Today, we celebrate 
Bill Massey, the President & CEO of the Peninsula Agency on Aging, on 
his 40th anniversary with the organization.
  For 4 decades, Mr. Massey has shown his commitment and compassion for 
older adults in Hampton Roads, and his work has empowered both older 
adults and their caregivers. Mr. Massey has been a cornerstone in the 
Hampton Roads community, working tirelessly to ensure the Peninsula 
Agency on Aging fulfills its mission to promote healthy aging by 
offering a wide range of services to seniors tailored to their specific 
needs.
  The Peninsula Agency on Aging offers older generations the 
opportunity to foster greater independence, security, and an improved 
quality of life. The organization specifically implements several vital 
programs authorized under the Older Americans Act--the country's 
preeminent law that supports our nation's seniors. The Peninsula Agency 
on Aging also provides seniors with information regarding Medicare and 
Medicaid, as well as other supports for families and caregivers. In 
2022, under his leadership, the Peninsula Agency on Aging served over 
10,200 clients and provided 183,000 home delivered meals to senior 
citizens as well as transportation for non-emergency medical 
appointments. Simply put, Mr. Massey and his organization have helped 
Virginians stay healthy and safe.
  Mr. Speaker, as we celebrate Bill Massey's 40 years of service with 
the Peninsula Agency on Aging, I want to express my gratitude for all 
of his hard work and dedication to supporting seniors, understanding 
the obstacles they face. His dedication has made a lasting impact.
