                       RECOGNIZING LISA DUCKWORTH

  (Mr. KENNEDY of Utah asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KENNEDY of Utah. Mr. Speaker, today I rise and recognize a proud 
U.S. Army veteran, Lisa Duckworth, who was recently named Military 
Friendly's 2025 Veteran of the Year for the State of Utah. From her 
role as a chaplaincy resources manager in the Army for close to 6 years 
to her current role as Utah's veteran employment representative, Lisa 
has demonstrated her outstanding devotion to education and empowerment.
  As Utah's veteran employment representative, Lisa advocates for the 
veteran and military community by working with organizations that 
provide them with employment, training, and development opportunities.
  This award given to Lisa recognizes the tangible difference she makes 
every day for those in Utah's military community.
  Her unwavering dedication to those who have served our country 
reminds us that all public service continues beyond uniform, whether it 
be through advocacy or community. She reminds us that when we support 
our veterans and military members, we strengthen our communities.
  I am proud to have Lisa Duckworth representing our beautiful State 
and thank her for her continued service. I thank Lisa for all she does 
to ensure a supportive environment for our veterans in Utah.
