                          HON. GREG GIANFORTE

                               of montana

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 11, 2018

  Mr. GIANFORTE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Harry Armstrong 
of Belgrade, a recipient of the 2018 Montana Congressional Veteran 
Commendation for his service to his country and leadership in his 
community.
   Mr. Armstrong joined the United States Marine Corps in 1964 and 
competed in shooting sports throughout the United States for the Marine 
Corps Shooting Team. He completed his 12-year active and reserve duty 
military career in 1976, retiring with the rank of Staff Sergeant.
   Since 2014, Mr. Armstrong has served as the Commandant of the Marine 
Corps League Robert Ellard Detachment 1050. His passion for shooting 
sports has led him to open a private shooting range on his ranch for 
veterans to gather, talk, and in some cases, heal. On the day before 
Memorial Day each year, Montana veterans and their families join Harry 
and Louise Armstrong on their ranch where they are treated to a special 
day in remembrance of their fallen comrades and loved ones.
   I ask my colleagues to join me today in commending Harry Armstrong 
for his dedication and service.
