               RECOGNIZING PAM YOUNKER ON HER RETIREMENT

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. BARRY LOUDERMILK

                               of georgia

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 23, 2025

  Mr. LOUDERMILK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an incredible 
individual who is a true pillar of the community, Mrs. Pam Younker, and 
congratulate her on her retirement from Children's Healthcare of 
Atlanta.
  The daughter of a United States Marine, Pam is a longtime advocate 
for our military, as well as our local community, and our children. Pam 
has spent more than a decade with Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, 
caring for families in their time of greatest need.
  A rock of her community, Pam was recognized in 2018 with the Marietta 
Citizen of the Year Award, and again in 2024 with the Len Gilbert Award 
for her advocacy for Dobbins Air Reserve Base and Clay National Guard 
Center.
  Pam served as Chair of the Honorary Commanders Association, a Cobb 
County Chamber of Commerce program connecting community leaders with 
military commanders. She remains committed to our nation's military, 
serving on the Military Appreciation Luncheon Committee, chairing Armed 
Forces Day for Leadership Cobb, co-chairing the Team Dobbins Committee, 
and is a Civic Leader for Air Force Reserve Command.
  Pam regularly organizes deployment send-offs, welcome-home events, 
and Veterans Day parades, among other events, and has been crucial in 
preventing the historic Dobbins Chapel's demolition, securing its 
relocation to the Clay National Guard Center.
  It is my honor to have worked closely with Pam Younker through the 
years, and an even greater privilege to call her a friend. I 
congratulate Pam on her well-deserved retirement and know she will 
continue serving her Cobb County community in the years to come.
