Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, from the 24th District of the great state of Florida, I rise today to recognize Sergeant Major Arthur Wells who has been named South Florida Federal Employee of the Year, for his selfless service to our veterans and their families. I include in the Record the following proclamation:
Whereas, Sergeant Major Wells is assistant chief of
Prosthetics Service at the Bruce W.
Carter, Miami VA Healthcare Systems in Miami, Florida, where
he has been a compassionate, dedicated and devoted employee
for 25 years;
Whereas, Sergeant Major Wells has proven himself to be a
leader and an advocate for all veterans and has effectively
and tirelessly used his expertise to assist many veterans to
obtain prosthetic limbs and devices such as electric
wheelchairs, scooters, patient lifts and many other
instruments to ease any vet's daily task;
Whereas, Sergeant Major Wells is the president of two non-
profit organizations, the South Florida Chapter of Blacks in
Government (BIG) and the Army National Guard Family Support
Foundation, which assists deployed soldiers' families with
funds to pay bills while the soldier is overseas;
Whereas, Sergeant Major Wells has received numerous
accolades and awards for outstanding community service which
includes helping the elderly, raising money for back-to-
school supplies and college scholarships and building homes
in Miami's Liberty City and Overtown neighborhoods with
Habitat for Humanity;
Whereas, Sergeant Major Wells is a decorated, U.S. veteran
who served in numerous U.S. operations and conflicts,
including the Vietnam Conflict and Operation Iraqi Freedom
before his retirement in 2007 which ended 39 years of
military service; and
Now, therefore, be it resolved that I, Frederica S. Wilson,
a Member of the United States House of Representatives,
representing the 24th Congressional District of Florida,
commend Sergeant Major Arthur Wells for his service to our
country and for his dedication and commitment to our
veterans, their families and to our community.
