  Mr. BILIRAKIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize one of my 
outstanding constituents, Dr. David Herndon, a skilled Doctor of 
Osteopathic Medicine whose generosity and expertise benefit our 
community through the Free Senior Health Clinic.
  Dr. Herndon volunteers his time each Friday during his lunch hour, 
offering care with both remarkable skill and genuine compassion. A 
brilliant diagnostician and dedicated practitioner, he combines medical 
expertise, research knowledge, and heartfelt concern to make a 
meaningful difference in the lives of his patients. His commitment 
ensures that our seniors receive not only expert care, but also 
dignity, reassurance, and hope.
  For his enduring dedication, compassionate heart, and profound impact 
on our community, I am proud to recognize Dr. Herndon as a 2026 Hero 
Among Us. I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring his unwavering 
commitment, selfless leadership, and the lasting, positive influence he 
has had on the lives of countless residents.
