Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 72 (Thursday, April 23, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 72 (Thursday, April 23, 2026)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Pages E362-E363] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] RECOGNIZING MS. LORI READY-DiGIOVANNI ______ HON. GREGORY F. MURPHY of north carolina in the house of representatives Thursday, April 23, 2026 Mr. MURPHY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a vital member of the Jacksonville, North Carolina community, Ms. Lori Ready-DiGiovanni. Ms. Ready-DiGiovanni is receiving the 2025 HIRE Vets Platinum Award from the U.S. Department of Labor. Lori is the Human Resources Manager at Stanadyne in Jacksonville, North Carolina, where she is receiving the award. The HIRE Vets Medallion Platinum Award was designed [[Page E363]] by the HIRE Vets Act and is the only federal-level Veterans' employment award that recognizes companies for Veteran hiring, retention, and professional development. To receive this honor, companies must meet strenuous criteria regarding percentages of Veteran employees that are hired and retained, as well as provide resources to those employees that help with integration and personal growth. It is designed to highlight the companies and employees working to support our Veteran population. While this is Lori's first time receiving the award at Stanadyne, it is, in fact, her fifth award since the HIRE Vets initiative was established in 2019. An outstanding accomplishment, her receipt of this award speaks highly of her devotion and steadfast loyalty to those who have courageously defended our Nation. Lori is a wonderful example of what all executives should be doing to support our service men and women as they transition back to civilian life. Mr. Speaker, please join me in recognizing and thanking Ms. Lori Ready-DiGiovanni and her dedication to supporting the Veteran population. ____________________
