Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Dr. Chuck Rheem, who was a leader in the Korean-American community and chairman of the U.S.-Korea Alliance Association. Dr. Rheem had a special love for the United States and his home country of South Korea and dedicated himself to advocating for policies with numerous Presidential administrations to strengthen U.S.-Korea relations. As a veteran of the Korean war, Dr. Rheem also had a passion for honoring our Korean war veterans and hosted numerous events to thank them and honor their sacrifices. While Dr. Rheem is no longer with us, I know that his legacy will continue to live on through the efforts of the members of the U.S.- Korea Alliance Association. I pray for God's peace for his family, friends, and anyone who knew him. ____________________
