Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Captain David Robert Witte for his exceptional service to Arkansas' Fourth Congressional District and to extend my heartfelt congratulations on his upcoming new role with the Arkansas Air National Guard as Chaplain for the 189th Airlift Wing at Little Rock Air Force Base. David has been an invaluable member of my team for nearly a decade, demonstrating his dedication and commitment to public service. He currently serves as my deputy district director and military and veterans' affairs representative, as well as the assistant pastor at Grace Lutheran Church in Little Rock and as chaplain for the 777th Aviation Support Battalion for the Arkansas Army National Guard, all roles in which he has excelled. Since 2015, he has played a crucial role in the service academy nomination process for Arkansas students and assisted thousands of his fellow veterans, helping them navigate complex casework and ensuring they receive the support they deserve. His work has not only benefited those individuals but has also had a significant impact on Arkansas' Fourth Congressional District. David holds an impressive resume, with an undergraduate degree from Concordia University and master's degrees from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock and Liberty University. He also shares my love for the great outdoors and loves visiting our national parks, as you can see pictured here, with his lovely wife, Megan, and their four children: Milo, Ike, Ames, and Etta.…
