               HONORING MASTER SERGEANT LINDA FAYE JULIAN

  (Mr. BURCHETT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BURCHETT. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Master Sergeant Linda Faye 
Julian. Sergeant Julian enlisted in the Tennessee Air National Guard in 
1975 and attended dental specialist school at Kessler Air Force Base.
  She deployed in support of many operations and exercises with the 
134th Air Refueling Wing. Sergeant Julian served her country with 
distinction during Operation Desert Storm and Desert Shield.
  In 1987, she was selected as the Air National Guard Outstanding 
Medical Corps Airman of the Year. She was a great mentor to many young 
airmen who went on to have very distinguished careers in the medical 
clinic and the Air Guard, and she retired in 2002 after her 
distinguished career of 27 years.
  She didn't stop giving when she retired. Sergeant Julian continued to 
serve her community through the Junior Service League in Blount County. 
She is passionately involved in charitable causes, including Toys for 
Tots and Meals on Wheels programs.
  She touched countless lives with her kindness. She was proud of her 
three children and three grandchildren and was always happy to be 
surrounded by her loved ones.
  Mr. Speaker, Sergeant Julian loved her country and her community. It 
is my honor to recognize Master Sergeant Linda Faye Julian as 
Tennessee's Second District January 2025 Veteran of the Year.
