EUGENE SIMON VINDMAN\n\n                              of virginia\n\n                    in the house of representatives\n\n                       Tuesday, February 24, 2026\n\n  Mr. VINDMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and recognize Mrs.\nTerry Lein, a proud constituent of Woodbridge, Virginia, as she retires\nfrom the United States Navy after 29 years of extraordinary service in\nthe Navy Nurse Corps.\n  Mrs. Lein built a remarkable career rooted in both compassion and\ndedication. She earned a bachelor's degree in Zoology/Animal Biology,\nfollowed by master's degrees in nursing and business administration, an\nacademic foundation that would prepare her to lead and care for our\ncommunities. Her commitment to service was inspired early on by her\nfather, who served in the Navy during the Korean War.\n  In 1996, she began serving as an Operating Room nurse, where she\nmanaged patient care in support of combat operations, humanitarian\nassistance, and disaster relief efforts.\n  Throughout her nearly three decades of service, Mrs. Lein was\nstationed across the world, including assignments in Italy, Iceland,\nJapan, and Alaska.\n  When Hurricane Katrina hit, she was the Nurse Officer in charge,\nleading a unit of nurses during one of our Nation's most challenging\nmoments, making sure patients received the consistent care they needed\nand deserved.\n  Recognized for her exemplary service, she earned the Navy and Marine\nCorps Commendation Medal (NMCCOM) and the Navy and Marine Corps\nAchievement (NMCAM), both of which are a testament to her superior\nperformance and meritorious service.\n  Although she has retired from the line of duty, Mrs. Lein's service\nto others continues. She now serves as Nurse Manager at the Bitar\nCosmetic Surgery Institute, where she oversees clinical operations,\nsupports nursing staff, and ensures patients receive the highest\nstandard of safe, quality care.\n  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Mrs.\nLein on her well-earned retirement and thanking her for almost three\ndecades of service to our Nation.\n\n[[Page E160]]\n\n                          ____________________"]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-2026-02-24-pt1-PgE159-3"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.6217350019142032, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
