  Mr. GIANFORTE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Martel Reum of 
Wolf Point, a recipient of the 2018 Montana Congressional Veteran 
Commendation for his service to his country and leadership in his 
community.
  Mr. Reum served for 13 years in the United States Army. His service 
included two tours in Bosnia and Herzegovina. He was also an Army 
recruiter. Mr. Reum was recognized by the Army for his meritorious 
service and achievements and awarded multiple commendations, including 
the Army Commendation Medal, the Army Achievement Medal, and the Gold 
Recruiter Badge.
  In service to his community, Mr. Reum is a Student Success Advocate 
at Fort Peck Community College, where he helps students and veterans 
reach their educational goals through the college's TRIO program. He is 
continuing his own education in Human Services with the goal of helping 
members of his community be free from chemical addiction.
  As a member of the Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes, Mr. Reum 
is helping to promote the traditions of his tribe and preserve the 
Assiniboine language, teaching language classes at Fort Peck Community 
College. He also serves on the Fort Peck Assiniboine Council and 
volunteers at tribal and community ceremonies.
  I ask my colleagues to join me today in commending Martel Reum for 
his dedication and service.
