                          HON. SCOTT R. TIPTON

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, March 12, 2019

  Mr. TIPTON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Major Sean M. 
Donohue of the United States Army for his extraordinary dedication to 
duty and service to the U.S. House of Representatives and our Nation. 
Major Donohue will soon transition from his current assignment as an 
Army Congressional Liaison in the U.S. House of Representatives to 
serve as the Command Surgeon for the Center for Initial Military 
Training at the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command. This unit is 
the largest charged with training all initial entry Soldiers in the 
Army.
  A native of Tacoma, WA, Major Donohue began his military career after 
graduating from the University of Puget Sound, enlisting after the 9/11 
attacks as a medic in 2002. He was commissioned in 2009, completed his 
clinical training as a Physician Assistant at Fort Carson in Colorado 
and promptly deployed to Afghanistan as a Battalion Surgeon with the 
173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team. Since then, Major Donohue has 
served in numerous leadership and staff positions around the world. His 
wife, Lexey, is a dedicated military spouse and they have three 
handsome boys: William, Jack and Maximus.
  In 2017, Army Medicine selected Major Donohue to serve as Legislative 
Liaison in the Army House Liaison Office. In his role as a legislative 
liaison, Major Donohue served as the primary liaison between Members of 
the 115th and 116th Congresses, their Staff, Legislative Committees, 
and the U.S. Army. In this role, he planned, coordinated, and 
accompanied Congressional and Staff Delegations on numerous worldwide 
fact-finding and investigative missions. Major Donohue built the 
relationships and trust needed to increase the trust and confidence the 
U.S. Congress has in the U.S. Army.
  Madam Speaker, it is my honor to recognize the selfless service of 
Major Donohue and his family as they continue to serve our great Nation 
in the next chapter of his remarkable career.
