                          Tuesday, May 8, 2018

  Mr. WITTMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Greg Reed, 
band teacher at Fredericksburg Christian School and Commander of the 
Enduring Freedom Honor Team.
  Under Greg's leadership, the Honor Team performs 30-50 events 
annually at a variety of different venues including the National D-Day 
Memorial; the National Museum of the Marine Corps; the Pentagon; Walter 
Reed Army Hospital; National Naval Medical Center; the Capitol; 
National Mall; and countless VA hospitals. The group has received 
recognition from military installations and the Virginia House of 
Delegates. Additionally, they support the Honor Flight Program, 
performing for more than 500 World War II and Korean War veterans as 
they visit the nation's Capital and the National Museum of the Marine 
Corps.
  Greg enjoys watching his students interact with veterans and grow 
from these experiences. The Honor Team's main missions are to bring 
awareness, gratefulness, and recognition to the United States Military 
and their families' sacrifices, past and present.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask you to join me in thanking Greg for his leadership 
and continued desire to give back to veterans.
