                        Thursday, July 18, 2019

  Mrs. DINGELL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Sergeant 
Frederick John Horne, II for his dedicated service. His commitment to 
country and community is worthy of commendation.
  Sergeant Horne entered the Armed Forces on September 7, 1967 and was 
stationed at Fort Knox in Kentucky. He served in Vietnam where he was 
wounded in combat twice and received two Purple Hearts. Sergeant Horne 
was honorably discharged for his dedicated service on September 1, 
1973. He returned to Michigan after a year at Valley Forge Hospital in 
Pennsylvania and worked for General Motors until his eventual 
retirement. Today we celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of Sergeant 
Horne receiving his Purple Heart for his sacrifice. He has shown 
tremendous bravery and selflessness throughout his decorated service.
  Sergeant Horne has shown a tremendous love for his country and 
community. His years as a member of the United States Military 
exemplify the selflessness of public service and stand as a testament 
to duty, honor, and country. We thank Sergeant Horne for his commitment 
to protecting the American people. His service underscores the 
significant price of freedom, and the dedication and sacrifice of our 
servicemembers in the Armed Forces and their families.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Sergeant 
Frederick John Horne, II for his exemplary service. He has effectively 
served Michigan and our nation through his selflessness and leadership.
