                      Tuesday, September 26, 2006

  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend Specialist Conrad 
Streeter, Texas Army National Guard, for receiving Soldier of the Year 
award. He has also received awards for Soldier of the year for the 1st 
Battalion, 71st Brigade, and 36th Infantry Division.
  To receive the award, Specialist Streeter competed in several events 
including; an M-16 rifle marksmanship event, a physical fitness test, 
completing land map day and night courses, and a written test comprised 
of 50-70 questions.
  Specialist Streeter has served with the Texas Army National Guard for 
the past 4\1/2\ years. His job as a personnel Sergeant is a vital 
component to ensure deploying troops have the things they need before 
heading oversees. Specialist Streeter has also been serving and 
deployed to Romania and the Louisiana coast line to help in the 
aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
  In civilian life Specialist Streeter works for the Lewisville 
Independent School District teaching both science and mathematics. The 
State of Texas is blessed to have an individual such as Specialist 
Streeter serving not only in our armed forces, but as a teacher in our 
community.
  I extend my sincere congratulations to Specialist Conrad Streeter for 
receiving the Soldier of the Year Award for the Texas Army National 
Guard. His contributions and service are a shining example to us all, 
and I am honored to be his representative in Washington.
