                        Wednesday, May 23, 2018

  Mrs. WALORSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor First Sergeant 
Rajendra Tony Singh of South Bend. His acts of heroism and sacrifice in 
service to our country are an inspiration to us all.
  Sergeant Singh has served three combat tours in Iraq and another in 
Afghanistan in his 21 years in the U.S. Marine Corps. He is a true 
leader who loves his country and is devoted to his fellow 
servicemembers. His abilities and actions have earned him well-deserved 
recognition, including a Navy Commendation Medal with a V, a Navy and 
Marine Corps Achievement Medal, a Navy Meritorious Unit Commendation 
among many others. These decorations are a sign of his good character, 
dedication, and patriotism.
  Sergeant Singh has always gone above and beyond to help others and 
make a real difference for those in need. His service to our country 
overseas is matched by his service to his community here at home. 
Sergeant Singh is a distinguished leader among his peers and a guiding 
light for his family. I want to thank his wife Marilyn for her 
incredible strength and for the support she has given to her family 
while her husband serves. I have no doubt their children Sabrina, 
Anthony, and Steven will grow up to be as driven and compassionate as 
their father.
  Sergeant Singh's legacy and career exemplify what it means to be a 
Marine. His steadfast commitment to humanitarian efforts as well as to 
preserving our way of life has made our nation and our communities 
stronger. We are grateful for his continued service and selfless 
dedication to this country. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me 
in thanking First Sergeant Rajendra T. Singh for his honorable service 
to our country and wishing him all the best in the amazing things I'm 
sure lie ahead for him and his family.
