        HONORING SERGEANT DAVID CHAMBERS AS SOLDIER OF THE YEAR

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ROGER WILLIAMS

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 31, 2019

  Mr. WILLIAMS. Madam Speaker, I would like to take this time to 
congratulate Sergeant David Chambers from Troop C, 1st Squadron, 3rd 
Calvary Regiment on being named 2019 Soldier of the Year in the Army's 
Best Warrior Competition.
  The annual competition tests soldiers physically and mentally, as 
they compete in urban warfare simulations, fitness challenges, warrior 
tasks, written exams and formal board interviews.
  Sergeant Chambers represented the Brave Rifles, Fort Hood, III Corps 
and United States Army Forces Command with the highest honor and 
integrity.
  He also represents the very best of America, and we should all look 
to his example of patriotism, selflessness and dedication.
  Fort Hood, or `The Great Place,' is one of the largest military 
installations in the world, where soldiers like Sergeant Chambers 
represent the gold standard for the United States Army.
  The men and women who are stationed there truly remind us of what it 
means to be an American.
  Madam Speaker, on behalf of the 25th District of Texas, I want to 
thank Sergeant Chambers for his service, and congratulate him on 
receiving this prestigious award.
  May God bless the United States of America, and those who fight for 
our freedom.
