           HONORING THE DEDICATED SERVICE OF DOROTHEA McBRIDE

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. MARTHA ROBY

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday July 29, 2015

  Mrs. ROBY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Dorothea McBride who is 
retiring from the Department of Veterans Affairs after 27 years of 
dedicated service. A Registered Nurse, a Veteran, and Patient 
Administrator at Central Alabama Veterans Healthcare System, her 
tireless work has been instrumental in helping the veterans of Central 
Alabama.
  Under particularly challenging circumstances, Dorothea has provided 
critical health care to many of our nation's most dedicated servants. 
Whether responding to veterans directly or working with my office on 
Congressional inquiries, she has demonstrated an exceptional level of 
professionalism and patriotism, literally saving lives.
  Dorothea McBride cares deeply for the veterans in her care. She never 
failed to respond diligently and with compassion and courtesy when 
asked for help. Along with my staff, I want to wish her all the best in 
the next chapter of her life. We will never forget her service.
