  Mr. GIANFORTE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Donald Bost of 
Lewistown, a recipient of the 2018 Montana Congressional Veteran 
Commendation for his service to his country and leadership in his 
community.
   Mr. Bost was a member of the U.S. Navy Seabees Mobile Construction 
Battalion 58 in 1968 and 1969. For his service in Vietnam, he earned 
the National Defense Ribbon and the Vietnam Service Medal.
   In Lewistown, Mr. Bost has been a steadfast contributor to numerous 
community and veteran projects. He is the Commander of American Legion 
Fergus Post 16 and has donated countless hours working on the Veterans 
Memorial Park and various events.
   As an active member of the local Chamber of Commerce for 34 years, 
Mr. Bost helped boost the area's economy by working to establish the 
Nexus Treatment Center and Western Transportation Institute facilities 
in Lewistown. He readily participates in more than a dozen local 
business, civic, and veteran organizations, and his involvement with 
local historic attractions helps keep the area's tourism industry 
vibrant.
   I ask my colleagues to join me today in commending Donald Bost for 
his dedication and service.
