                 HIGHLIGHTING THE WORK OF JEFF MITTMAN

  (Mr. STUTZMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. STUTZMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to highlight the work of Mr. 
Jeff Mittman and congratulate him on his appointment by President Trump 
to serve as a member of the U.S. AbilityOne Commission.
  Mr. Mittman served 22 years in the U.S. Army until an IED ended his 
service and caused him to lose his vision. Despite this sacrifice, Mr. 
Mittman made it a mission to move forward and overcome the challenges 
his life presented.
  As one of many accomplishments, in 2019, Mr. Mittman became the first 
legally blind president and CEO of Bosma Enterprises, the largest 
employer for people who are blind in Indiana.
  Beyond that, Mr. Mittman also serves as the president of the National 
Association for the Employment of People Who Are Blind.
  Even after losing so much, Mr. Mittman considers himself the luckiest 
man alive. His responses to adversity serves as an inspiring lesson to 
all of us.
  Indiana is fortunate to have benefited from his unwavering sense of 
hope and leadership in our community. No one is more deserving than Mr. 
Mittman for this appointment, and I am truly excited to see such an 
inspiring Hoosier serve on the AbilityOne Commission.
