                        Thursday, April 24, 2025

  Mr. CARSON. Mr. Speaker, today I rise in honor of Kay Ross, a proud 
veteran of the Marines, a military branch known for its demand of 
physical and mental excellence.
  I established the Sheila Corcoran Hoosier Women Hero Award to 
highlight the extraordinary women whose service to our nation and 
communities is unparalleled. I am honored to recognize Kay for the 
month of April.
  Kay's decision to join the military was motivated by her desire to be 
part of something greater than herself. Having proudly served as an 
Avionics Technician from 1990 to 1995, Kay not only amplified the 
voices of current women in the Marines, but also helped open doors for 
future generations of women Marines. She is a beacon of purpose, honor, 
and sacrifice, qualities exemplified through her military service and 
in her ongoing dedication to fellow veterans and active-duty personnel.
  As the Sr. Vice Commandant of the Marine Corps League Department of 
Indiana and a Veterans Service Officer, Kay has worked tirelessly to 
help veterans transition back to civilian life, providing essential 
resources to ensure their livelihood and security. As a Homeless 
Veteran Outreach Coordinator with the Veterans Benefit Administration, 
Kay provides essential housing resources to Indianapolis-area veterans, 
ensuring they receive the care, recognition, and resources they 
rightfully deserve. Kay's humility and dedication to the veteran 
community have and will continue to leave a lasting impact.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Kay Ross for her 
outstanding service to our country and her unwavering dedication to her 
fellow veterans. I thank her for making Indianapolis a haven for her 
diligent service.
