  “Mr. GREEN of Tennessee. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Sang H. Yi for his distinguished service to the House Committee on Homeland Security and the United States Congress. Sang is a proud alumnus of the United States Merchant Marine Academy, the United States Naval War College, and the George [[Page E483]] Washington University Law School. With an exceptional commitment to public service, Sang embarked on his professional career in the Intelligence Community. He then served as Professional Staff Member and Senior Policy Advisor on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee under the leadership of Chairman Darrell Issa and Chairman Jason Chaffetz. Subsequently, he joined the House Committee on Natural Resources, where he served as Senior Counsel, Subcommittee Staff Director, and Chief Investigative Counsel under the leadership of Chairman Rob Bishop and Chairman Bruce Westerman. In 2023, Sang joined the House Committee on Homeland Security as Director of Investigations and Subcommittee Staff Director. Sang also served as an elected member of the City Council for Fairfax, Virginia for two terms, and as an officer in the United States Navy Reserve for more than 22 years. Having worked with Sang since the beginning of the 118th Congress, I have seen firsthand how he exemplifies what it means to be a dedicated public servant. He possesses a wealth of knowledge in congressional oversight and investigations and the challenges facing our Nation every day. He has earned a reputation as a tenacious and thorough investigator and has mentored many staff throughout his years in Congress. He has served 3 committees faithfully under the leadership of 5 different chairmen or ranking members across 9 Congresses. As Director of Investigations, Sang led my Committee's oversight efforts related to the crisis at our Southwest border, the increasing threat of cyberattacks and government censorship, transportation and maritime security, counterterrorism efforts, and federal emergency management responses. Thanks to his leadership, our Nation is safer. Sang's wise counsel to the Committee helped ensure that the Department of Homeland Security was held accountable to the American people. I am deeply grateful for Sang's invaluable service to the Committee and our Nation. Sang is a true patriot, and I am confident he will continue to distinguish himself as he serves in his next role as the Acting Administrator and Deputy Administrator of the United States Maritime Administration. On behalf of the United States House of Representatives and the House Committee on Homeland Security, I commend Sang for his diligent service and wish him well in all his future endeavors. ____________________”

  “Mr. GREEN of Tennessee. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mrs. Laura Boyd, a dedicated public servant, on her retirement from Blanchfield Army Community Hospital (BACH). Laura was born in Sumner County, Tennessee and raised in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee. In high school, Laura's softball team won the state championship, giving her the opportunity to attend Cumberland University, where she earned a bachelor's degree in business administration. Laura first came to Fort Campbell in 1991 as a teachers' assistant and, shortly after joining the school system, took on the Public Relations role for the Assistant Superintendent until the summer of 2003. In August of 2003, Laura accepted the Public Affairs role at BACH. For over two decades, Laura has served in this role and has been an invaluable member of the Fort Campbell and Clarksville communities. In her role, Laura recreated the responsibilities for a position that had been vacant for over two years. In addition, Laura took on more challenges and opportunities for the department, including managing protocol responsibilities, community outreach, patient advocacy, patient and family-centered care, customer service, and many others. In my former position as a State Senator and currently representing Fort Campbell in Congress. Laura has always been vigilant to inform my office of the most up-to-date information and advocate for BACH's needs. In addition to these positions, I had the honor of working with Laura when I served as the Chief of the BACH Emergency Center. It was inspiring to watch firsthand how she treated everyone who stepped into the hospital, from the Commanding General to a sick individual coming in for care, with dignity and respect. More than just a job title, Laura has been an institution at BACH and will be sorely missed. In retirement, Laura plans to spend time with her husband, Bill, whom she will celebrate her 36th wedding anniversary with this fall, their son, Aaron, his wife Jordan, granddaughter Charlotte, and her daughter Hope. In addition, Laura plans to serve her church and community as well. As Laura steps away from her position after many years of dedication, it is my great pleasure to honor her. We owe Laura our deepest thanks and respect. Her leadership and unwavering commitment to the families who rely on Blanchfield has impacted the lives of not only our servicemen and women, but everyone who is connected to our Fort Campbell community. We wish Laura and her family the best in her retirement as she continues to serve her family, community, and church. ____________________”

  “Mr. GREEN of Tennessee. Mr. Speaker. I rise today to honor the life and service of Retired Brigadier General Eden Murrie. Throughout a distinguished twenty-nine-year career in the United States Air Force, Eden was awarded the Legion of Merit, Defense Meritorious Service Medal, and the Aerial Achievement Medal, among many others. She also earned the title of ``master navigator'' after logging over 2,400 flying hours as well as serving as a flight instructor for three different aircraft. After achieving the rank of General Officer in 2009, Eden served as special assistant to the Vice Chief of Staff at the United States Air Force Headquarters in Washington, D.C., before transitioning to the Director of Legislative Affairs on the National Security Staff for the White House. From 2011 to 2013, she served as the Director of Air Force Services and Deputy Chief of Staff for Manpower, Personnel, and Services at the U.S. Air Force Headquarters. Soon after retiring from military service. Eden became the Chief Operations Officer of Operation Stand Down Tennessee (OSDTN) in 2017 and became its Chief Executive Officer in 2020. OSDTN is the only comprehensive veteran-serving agency in Middle Tennessee, connecting veterans with careers, community, and crisis services. Under her leadership, OSDTN has served thousands of veterans by delivering food boxes, providing financial assistance, helping veterans find housing, and assisting veterans in their transition from military to civilian life. In her final full year as CEO, Operation Stand Down Tennessee served 7,991 veterans while receiving over 16,000 visits to OSDTN centers. Her dedication to serving our nation and its veterans has left an indelible mark on our Armed Forces and Middle Tennessee. Eden is also a prominent leader in my community. She has served on the boards for The Women in Military Service for America Memorial Foundation, Tennessee State Veterans' Homes, Centerstone Military Services, and the Davidson County Veterans Court Foundation, as well as an adviser for the Nashville YWCA Dress for Success program. As Eden steps down from her role as CEO of Operation Stand Down Tennessee. I want to wish her the best and thank her for her decades of public and private service. I know she will tackle her next chapter with the same passion and tenacity as her other outstanding achievements. ____________________”
