  Mr. NEAL. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the work of the 
Presidential Service Badge

Foundation, a new organization seeking to raise awareness about the 
importance of public service by empowering servicemembers and their 
families.
  Through philanthropic efforts, including a newly launched scholarship 
fund, the Foundation seeks to raise awareness of the connection between 
family and our military. Additionally, the Foundation seeks to showcase 
the honored men and women who earn the Presidential Service Badge 
through non-partisan support to the Office of the President.
  As the Dean of the Massachusetts and New England Delegations, I would 
like to join Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey in recognizing this 
organization and commending them for their support of those who have 
served our democracy. I am proud of the fact that New England is home 
to more Presidential Service Badge recipients than any other region in 
the country, with over 2,000 in Massachusetts alone. I thank them for 
their hard work, and I wish them many more years of success and 
prosperity.
