                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. GREG GIANFORTE

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, November 30, 2017

  Mr. GIANFORTE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Richard Allgood 
of Big Sky for the Montana Congressional Veteran Commendation for his 
service to his country and leadership in his community.
  Mr. Allgood served in the United States Air Force during the Vietnam 
War, yet his service to his community continued well after his military 
career.
  In Big Sky, Mr. Allgood was instrumental in the revival of American 
Legion Post 99, which now provides scholarships for local high school 
students and sponsors Boys State and Girls State programs as well as 
other local youth activities.
  Mr. Allgood's tireless efforts have helped provide assistance to 
financially troubled veterans, aid to community members needing help 
with medical expenses, and support for the Vietnam War Memorial in 
Bozeman.
  I ask my colleagues to join me today in commending Richard Allgood 
for his dedication and service.
