                        Monday, December 4, 2017

  Mr. TIPTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Ms. Paulette Stuart 
and Mr. Jim Stuart for their work in planning and hosting the National 
Medal of Honor Society Convention in Pueblo, Colorado.
  In 1993, the 103rd Congress of the United States designated Pueblo, 
Colorado as the Home of Heroes, as it is the home of four recipients of 
the Congressional Medal of Honor. Since then Jim and Paulette have 
dedicated much of their time to the Congressional Medal of Honor 
Society. Both worked tirelessly hosting the National Medal of Honor 
Society Convention this year in Pueblo, Colorado from September 12 to 
16, 2017. This was the second time the National Medal of Honor Society 
Convention was held in Pueblo, Colorado (September 2000) thanks to Jim 
and Paulette's efforts.
  Jim was born, raised and educated in Pueblo, Colorado. He became an 
entrepreneur starting Sangray Corporation, which marketed and sold 
finished ceramic gift products. He retired after running the business 
for 30 years, and now serves on numerous commissions and non-profit 
boards. Paulette started her career in Pueblo with the Pueblo Chamber 
of Commerce where she served as Vice President of the Conventions and 
Visitors Council. Later, she retired from the Pueblo Chieftain 
newspaper as Promotions Manager, and now is an advertising and 
marketing consultant and community volunteer, donating her time with 
non-profits and civic organizations. For their dedication and 
commitment to the Pueblo community, they have been inducted into the 
Pueblo Hall of Fame.
  Mr. Speaker, Paulette and Jim Stuart continue to be advocates for the 
Medal Of Honor Society, the Pueblo Home of Heroes Association, and 
veterans across the nation. I'm proud to recognize these engaged civic 
leaders and valued members of the community for their work on behalf of 
our heroes and for promoting the City of Pueblo and its wonderful 
attributes.
