  Mr. GIANFORTE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Gary Germundson 
of Scobey for the Montana Congressional Veteran Commendation for his 
service to his country and leadership in his community.
  Mr. Germundson joined the United States Army in 1957 and served in 
Vietnam. In 1965, he ended his military career but continued to serve 
as a community leader in Montana.
  Mr. Germundson spent 45 years as a public educator. He became an 
alderman of the Scobey City Council and served as president of the 
Scobey Lions Club. Mr. Germundson remains active in his local American 
Legion and is treasurer of the Daniels County Color Guard.
  In addition to raising their four children, Gary and Bonnie 
Germundson were foster parents to fifteen children.
  I ask my colleagues to join me today in commending Mr. Gary 
Germundson for his dedication and service.
