                      HONORING MICHAEL DEAN RAMBO

  (Mr. MARCHANT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MARCHANT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Michael Dean Rambo 
of Colleyville, Texas.
  Michael was an outstanding husband, father, and scout master for 
Troop 28. Michael was always looking for an opportunity to give back to 
the community in which he lived. He loved his family and friends, and 
they loved him.
  Michael always had a childlike wonder and awe of the world around him 
and a thirst for knowledge. His example and enthusiasm made those 
around him want to learn more and do more.
  Michael was always up for a challenge and always willing to lend a 
hand. He was the cubmaster for Pack 254 before taking the lead role for 
Troop 28. Michael was the guiding light for Troop 28 for 12 years and 
helped them earn Colleyville's first service award.
  Among Michael's many accomplishments, he earned his Eagle Scout at 
age 13. He earned a select student in science and math degree from 
Stephen F. Austin University, and he went on to earn a master's degree 
from UT Arlington. His favorite people were his sons, Patrick Rambo and 
Aaron Rambo, and his wife, Mary Margaret.
  Michael Rambo selflessly served the community. He loved his family 
and friends, and he enjoyed life to the fullest. He was a role model of 
superior citizenship who had a tremendous impact on our lives.
