Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. WITTMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Captain Ryan Casey and his service to Virginia's First District and the Nation.

Ryan earned his bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, and Political Science from Carthage College. After graduating from Carthage College, he commissioned as an officer in the U.S. Marine Corps. While in the U.S. Marine Corps, he worked his way up from Student Officer to Weapons Platoon Commander, eventually earning the rank of Captain.

Ryan then graduated from the Expeditionary Warfare School at Marine Corps University. He subsequently earned his master's degree in Public Policy from the Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University.

Ryan joined my office as a Department of Defense Legislative Fellow in January 2022. As a Defense Fellow, he served our Nation both as a Marine and a public servant. He contributed mightily and invaluably to my House Armed Services Committee work, which included my role as the Ranking Member of the Seapower and Projection Forces Subcommittee.

I would like to thank Ryan for his contributions and dedicated service over the last year. He has been a key member of my defense team and staff, and I wish him all the best as he continues his journey here in the Capitol as a House Liaison Officer in the U.S. Marine Corps House Liaison Office.

Madam Speaker, I ask you to join me in recognizing Captain Ryan Casey for his service to Virginia's First District and the Nation. May God bless Ryan as he continues his career in public service and the U.S. Marine Corps.
