CELEBRATING THE 81ST BIRTHDAY OF DR. HESHAM ALALUSI

Tuesday, July 29, 2025
Ms. TLAIB. Mr. Speaker, I proudly honor the accomplishments and
community dedication of Dr. Hesham Alalusi on his 81st birthday. We
recognize his service as a distinguished engineer, educator, and
humanitarian work at home and abroad.
He is proud of his roots and being born in Baghdad, Iraq. Dr. Alalusi
was orphaned as a teen, and even under enormous challenges, he earned a
PhD in civil and structural engineering from UC Berkeley and went on to
shape Iraq's infrastructure and engineering future before political
unrest led him to resettle in the U.S.
Dr. Alalusi's most enduring contribution, however, lies in the
founding of the Alalusi Foundation, which has delivered over 830
million in humanitarian aid to orphans, widows, and families in Iraq,
Syria, and Palestine, for medical assistance, food security, and access
to clean water.
He has been married to his lovely wife, Diana, for 58 years, and has
two children and six grandchildren. Dr. Alalusi's life exemplifies
resilience, generosity, and global compassion, and I am proud to uplift
his remarkable legacy on his 81st birthday.
