  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend Lance Corporal Ryan 
S. Miller, United States Marine Corps, for receiving a Certificate of 
Appreciation for superior performance of duty while serving as the Non 
Commissioned Officer in Charge of the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat 
Center's Color Detail at Twentynine Palms, California.
  Lance Corporal Miller was responsible for posting the Combat Center's 
colors on a daily basis. As a result of his leadership, motivation, and 
attention to detail, the Color Detail accomplished its mission in an 
exemplary manner. Lance Corporal Miller has performed a great duty to 
our country. Lance Corporal Miller's Certificate of Appreciation is a 
permanent part of his official record at Headquarters, United States 
Marine Corps.
  A 2004 graduate of Edward S. Marcus High School in Flower Mound, 
Texas, in the heart of the 26th Congressional District, Lance Corporal 
Miller is a fine example of how brave Americans stationed both in the 
United States and abroad are doing their duty faithfully and serving 
their country admirably.
  As a member of the United States Marine Corps, Lance Corporal Miller 
is a part of a long tradition of military excellence. Due to the 
Marine's constant vigilance, the borders and freedoms of the United 
States are protected. The traditions of the United States Marine Corps 
are as old as the nation itself; Lance Corporal Miller's outstanding 
service and respect for traditions make him the pride of his community 
and a model American.
  I extend my sincere congratulations to Lance Corporal Ryan S. Miller 
for receiving a Certificate of Appreciation. His contributions and 
service are a shining example to us all, and I am honored to be his 
representative in Washington.
