HONORING CAPTAIN DEBBY MOONE, BREVARD COUNTY'S NOVEMBER VETERAN OF THE

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. MIKE HARIDOPOLOS

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, February 20, 2026

  Mr. HARIDOPOLOS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an 
extraordinary Floridian and patriot, Captain Debby Moone, who was named 
Brevard County's November Veteran of the Month.
  Captain Moone dedicated 32 years of her life to serving our Nation in 
uniform, answering the call in both the United States Air Force and the 
United States Army. After serving 22 years in the Air Force and rising 
to the rank of Senior Master Sergeant, she continued her service by 
becoming a commissioned Army officer, ultimately retiring as a Captain 
in the Medical Service Corps.
  Throughout her distinguished career, Captain Moone deployed in 
Operation Desert Storm, served overseas in Korea, and led soldiers as a 
medical company commander, ensuring that those who served had the care 
they needed when it mattered most.
  Her service has been recognized with numerous honors, including the 
Meritorious Service Medal, Joint Service Commendation Medal, and the 
Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, among many others.
  Mr. Speaker, Captain Moone represents the very best of the Space 
Coast--selfless, resilient, and devoted to something greater than 
herself. Our Nation is stronger because of her service, and Brevard 
County is proud to call her one of its own.
