                         HON. ELISE M. STEFANIK

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, April 4, 2017

  Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and recognize James 
Cody of Syracuse, New York, for his consistent and enduring dedication 
to serving our nation's veterans.
  Mr. Cody began his work with the Department of Veterans Affairs in 
1978 and has worked in multiple VA Centers across the east coast since 
then. For the last 17 years, he has served as the Director of the VA 
facility in Syracuse, while also overseeing its seven outpatient 
clinics. Mr. Cody oversaw an expansion of the facility's services, 
which included the construction of a Spinal Cord Injury Center, and 
during his tenure, approximately 48,000 veterans received the treatment 
they deserved.
  I would like to thank Mr. Cody for his work providing an invaluable 
service to the veterans of New York's 21st District. The time and 
effort that James has put into assisting our servicemen and women 
speaks volumes of his character, and we applaud his years of service.
