“This month, she is retiring from her role as executive director of the Veterans Legal Services, but she will continue to make a difference in the lives of veterans serving as an ambassador and supporting fundraising efforts to ensure that our veterans receive the legal help that they deserve.

Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to honor Major Antoinette Naddour, an Orange County resident, a veteran, and a person who spent her career serving the homeless and at-risk veterans. Antoinette began her career after witnessing a surge of servicemembers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan who were homeless. This motivated her to cofound a Veterans Legal Institute in Orange County where she focused on developing veteran-focused legal services.”

“Despite being arrested, beaten, and intimidated, his courage never wavered. As a trial attorney, Federico carried that same courage into the courtroom, trying more than 200 cases to verdict. He also provided free legal services to United Farm Workers of California. He fought for victims of civil rights all over. As a proud Mexican American, Federico devoted himself to advancing opportunities and improving conditions for all. I thank Federico, my good friend, for his good work. He is not forgotten, and we will see him soon. [[Page H4465]] ____________________”

Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Black April, a day to lament and reflect on the fall of Saigon. It has been over 49 years since we fought shoulder to shoulder with our Vietnamese allies. After the fall, refugees were forced to flee their homes with whatever they could carry. It is important to recognize the resiliency of the Vietnamese people. I grew up with Vietnamese Americans who came to this country for a better life.”

“They are targeting SNAP, a vital food assistance program that provides food to 40 million people: seniors, children, and veterans. I urge my colleagues to defeat the previous question so that we can bring up H.R. 2753, the Hands Off Medicaid and SNAP Act, to stop our colleagues from taking away healthcare from Americans and making a big mistake.”
“Mr. Speaker, this past week, I had the honor to visit a number of senior centers in my district. I saw seniors having a meal at lunchtime paid for by SNAP, seniors that have relied on Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and SNAP, seniors that have worked all their lives to build America, and all they want to do is have a peaceful retirement. I rise today because my colleagues across the aisle are looking to cut Medicaid and SNAP, programs that hundreds of millions of Americans rely on to keep food on their table and their families healthy. My colleagues are targeting almost $900 billion in cuts to Medicaid, threatening to take away healthcare for some 80 million Americans who rely on this program. That would strip away healthcare from millions, including children, seniors, people with disabilities, and veterans.”
“Recognizing Senior Santa & Friends Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Senior Santa & Friends program that supports many seniors across Orange County. Each year, this program brings joy to seniors and adults with severe disabilities, bringing them gifts and special requests, gifts that make changes in their lives like household appliances, medical equipment, clothing, and nutritional supplements. Senior Santa & Friends has been able to deliver 2,100 gifts annually to seniors in need in our community. Please join me in thanking Senior Santa & Friends for their dedication to helping our community make life much better during the holidays for our seniors. ____________________”
“I congratulate him on a well-deserved induction into Orange County's Hall of Fame. Honoring Serrato Sisters Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate sisters Alicia, Anabelle, and Angelica Serratos for their accomplishments as part of the Santa Ana High School girls' wrestling team. Alicia, Anabelle, and Angelica took home an impressive combined record of 104 wins and 12 losses into their recent CIF Southern Section girls' championship meets. Their parents, Fernando and Monica, are both former wrestlers and currently coach at Santa Ana High School. Their guidance has helped their daughters, the sisters, and many other champs at Santa Ana High School. I wish Alicia, Anabelle, and Angelica success in their wrestling careers, and I thank the Serratos family for showing Orange County how it is done. Go Saints.”
“[[Page H1469]] I thank Jessie for his service to our Nation and for his commitment to fellow students who are veterans. Recognizing Charlie Zhang Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Charlie Zhang for his philanthropy and his induction into the Orange County Hall of Fame. Charlie comes from humble beginnings. He came to this country penniless and unable to speak English but with a dream. With hard work, he started a number of businesses, and he achieved the American Dream. Now, Charlie is known throughout Orange County for supporting education and the arts. Some of his most important contributions have helped business and economics students at my own alma mater, Cal State Fullerton. I thank Charlie for being a role model and helping to uplift Orange County's next generation.”

Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Jessie Echaury for his military service and contributions to our community. In 2016, Jessie served our Nation as a U.S. Army soldier in Afghanistan. A decade later, he now serves other veterans as president of Cal State Fullerton's Student Veterans of America chapter. In this role, he advocates for veteran students struggling with invisible wounds like PTSD.”
