                    TRIBUTE TO OFFICER MILOS GRUBNIC

 Ms. DUCKWORTH. Madam President, today I wish to honor 
supervisory Transportation Security Officer Milos Grubnic for going 
above and beyond his duties while serving with the U.S. Department of 
Homeland Security's Transportation Security Administration, TSA, at 
O'Hare International Airport in Chicago, IL.
  On November 26, 2018, Officer Grubnic was featured in TSA Today after 
he and a fellow Transportation Security officer, John Kozcur, helped a 
passenger recover his stolen cell phone. Not only did they handle the 
situation in a thorough and professional manner by reviewing security 
footage, tracking the individual down and returning the item, but they 
were able to do so before the passenger boarded his flight. Many times, 
the hard work of our Transportation Security officers goes unnoticed 
and unreported, and I am thankful for all they do to keep us safe.
  Officer Grubnic's actions in November displayed his steadfast 
dedication and passion for public service. Throughout his time at 
O'Hare International Airport, Officer Grubnic has worked to support all 
aspects of TSA's mission, including assisting my family and me at 
security checkpoints as we travel.
  I commend Officer Grubnic's hard work, passion, and commitment to 
safeguarding the public and achieving TSA's mission to protect our 
Nation's transportation systems. May his continued dedication serve as 
an inspiration to us all.
