     RECOGNIZING THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF GLOBAL STAFFING, INC., AND

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. MARK UDALL

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 25, 2008

  Mr. UDALL of Colorado. Madam Speaker, I rise to congratulate 
Westmoreland/GTG JV, a venture of Global Staffing, Inc., and 
Westmoreland, Inc., on its recognition as a ``Top 100 Veteran Owned 
Business in America'' and a ``Top 100 Disabled Owned Business in 
America'' by Diversity Business Magazine. From what I have heard of 
Westmoreland/GTGS JV, a service-disabled, veteran-owned small business, 
this recognition is well deserved.
  I'm told that for the 17 years that Global Staffing has operated in 
my district, it has provided quality service to commercial enterprises 
and government agencies. Global Staffing has provided gainful 
employment to thousands of my constituents and other citizens 
nationwide. I understand that Global Staffing has demonstrated good 
corporate citizenship, supporting the local community through 
scholarships for at-risk children, food drives for the homeless, and 
grants to domestic abuse support agencies.
  Westmoreland, Inc. was founded by Dennis Westmoreland a service-
disabled veteran of two tours in Vietnam, who has for many years given 
his time and energy to working with and supporting other veterans at VA 
hospitals in Colorado.
  I congratulate the management and staff of Global Staffing and 
Westmoreland for this award and wish them continued success in the 
future.
