  Mr. GIANFORTE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Phillip Lyons 
of Butte for the Montana Congressional Veteran Commendation for his 
service to his country and leadership in his community.
  Mr. Lyons answered the call to serve his country following the attack 
on Pearl Harbor. He joined the United States Navy and later the Navy 
Reserve. Mr. Lyons was a submariner during World War II and the Korean 
War.
  Mr. Lyons has been active with Butte's American Legion post for the 
past 70 years and served as the post's commander. Mr. Lyons was State 
Commander of the Montana Subvets, is a member of the DAV and VFW, and 
has logged over 15,000 hours of volunteer work on behalf of veterans 
and their families.
  I ask my colleagues to join me today in commending Phillip Lyons for 
his dedication and service.
