AS MAY 2026 VETERAN OF THE MONTH
HON. LISA C. McCLAIN
of michigan
in the house of representatives
Thursday, May 21, 2026
Mrs. McClain. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Corporal Emma Moriarty for her honorable service in the United States Marine Corps and her continued dedication following her military career. It is my privilege to name her our May 2026 Veteran of the Month.
Cpl. Moriarty grew up in Ortonville, Michigan, and graduated from Brandon High School. Shortly after graduation, she enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and attended boot camp at Parris Island, beginning a career defined by resilience, adaptability, and service to our country. She was assigned to the finance field, where she trained in fiscal and administrative operations supporting fellow service members.
Following her training, Cpl. Moriarty's first duty station was in North Carolina, where she worked in military finance. In this role, she assisted Marines with pay-related matters, processed financial documentation, and helped maintain fiscal records essential to supporting daily military operations.
Cpl. Moriarty was later stationed at Marine Corps Base Hawaii in Kaneohe Bay, where she continued serving in fiscal operations and coordinated with finance sections in Okinawa. Her responsibilities included processing and reviewing payments, assisting with military financial systems, and supporting operational readiness within her unit.
Throughout her military service, Cpl. Moriarty remained committed to furthering her
education. While balancing the demands of military life, she began taking college courses and steadily worked toward completing her degree.
Cpl. Moriarty's military career concluded after she sustained an injury while serving, which ultimately resulted in a medical discharge after three and a half years of service. Despite the challenges surrounding her injury and transition to civilian life, she remained focused on her future and continued pursuing higher education full time.
Today, Cpl. Moriarty is preparing to graduate with a bachelor's degree focused on business and finance-related studies. Outside of school, she enjoys creative projects, design work, and exploring Michigan's natural landscapes and sand dunes.
Mr. Speaker, Corporal Emma Moriarty's service in the United States Marine Corps, dedication to her education, and perseverance through challenges reflect her strong character and commitment to service. It is my honor to recognize her as our May 2026 Veteran of the Month.
