  Mr. VINDMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate Ms. Cynthia Lee 
for her remarkable 44 years of federal service with the Department of 
the Army.
  Ms. Lee began her journey at Virginia State University where she 
earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. She then went 
on to pursue a Master of Science in Contract and Acquisition Management 
from the Florida Institute of Technology, laying the academic 
foundation for a career that would span more than 4 decades.
  At the age of 18, Ms. Lee began her career as a student hire. From 
those early days, she demonstrated exceptional leadership, rising 
through the ranks to become a well-respected leader.
  Over the course of her career, Ms. Lee's contributions have left a 
lasting impact on both her peers and the entire federal workforce in 
her role as Program Manager of Small Business Programs within the 
Department of the Army.
  In recognition for her exceptional performance, Ms. Lee has received 
numerous awards that reflect her commitment and dedication. As Resource 
Management Chief, she was commended for her service as Acting Deputy 
Commander from May 2021 to January 2022, a role in which she displayed 
exceptional professionalism.
  I want to personally thank Ms. Lee for her decades of service. Mr. 
Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Ms. Lee for her 44 
years of outstanding federal service. We are deeply grateful for her 
dedication, her leadership, and her invaluable contributions to our 
Nation.
