  Mr. SMITH of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I would like to commend Brigadier 
General Walter Schellhase (Retired) for his service to his country, 
community and fellow veterans as he retires as the President of the 
Hill Country Veterans Council.
  During his nearly two decades as an officer and member of the Board 
of Directors of the Hill Country Veterans Council, General Schellhase 
has worked tirelessly as an advocate for the needs of veterans. In 
addition to his work with the Veterans Council, General Schellhase has 
served on the Boards of the Kerrville Economic Development Corporation, 
the Kerr County Historical Commission, and was named Citizen of the 
Year by the Kerrville Area Chamber of Commerce.
  General Schellhase's efforts on behalf of his fellow veterans and 
citizens are certainly commendable. We thank him for his many years of 
public service.
