                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 29, 2025

  Mr. PAPPAS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Patricia Ann 
Miller's outstanding service as a Surviving Spouse Liaison at the 
Military Officers Association of America. Pat has approached her work 
as a liaison with immense passion and commitment, exemplifying the 
virtues of service to her community and Nation.
  Pat has continuously shown the highest standard of care to veterans' 
surviving spouses, advocating for legislation that supports them, 
helping them access healthcare benefits, and reaching out on a routine 
basis to encourage them in their daily life. Pat has represented the 
MOAA on numerous occasions and spearheaded events to honor surviving 
spouses. In one case, Pat established a memorial fund that donated to 
family charities identified by each surviving spouse in memory of their 
loved one.
  Pat showcases exceptional personal care for the people she helps, 
immediately contacting newly surviving spouses to support them in their 
time of grief and inform them of available resources. Every holiday, 
Pat contacts each surviving spouse personally with well-wishes and 
comfort.
  On behalf of my constituents in New Hampshire's First Congressional 
District, I thank Pat for her thoughtfulness and dedication to the 
surviving spouses she has supported. Granite staters are grateful that 
the spouses of our brave veterans may receive attentive care from 
professionals like Pat, and I wish her only the best in the years to 
come.
