RECOGNIZING VETERAN REMMIE CHEW, U.S. MARINE CORPS, AND HIS VOLUNTEER
WORK

Mr. McEACHIN. Madam Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to recognize and honor Mr. Remmie Chew for his service to our country and his continuing service to our Richmond community.
Mr. Chew served in the United States Marine Corps for sixteen years, and was stationed across the globe, from Okinawa, Japan to Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. He now continues his service in the Richmond community with his non-profit organization, A Servant's Heart Ministry, that collects goods and distributes them to those experiencing homelessness.
His inspiration for his non-profit came while getting his master's degree at Virginia Union University's School of Theology in 2020. As a fellow alumnus of that venerable institution, I have the utmost respect for the way Mr. Chew lives the values we learned. As churches and others serve meals, it was important to Mr. Chew to provide food, clothing, and other essential items to the people of Richmond, wherever they may be.
Instead of looking for praise, Mr. Chew finds reward with helping and making connections with our communities. Mr. Chew's dedication to others, both in our Richmond communities and to our nation during his time in the U.S. Marine Corps, exemplifies his selfless service.
Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Mr. Remmie Chew for his devotion and service to the public good, to our communities, and to our Nation.
