  Mr. GIANFORTE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Roger Knoell 
of Butte for the Montana Congressional Veteran Commendation for his 
service to his country and leadership in his community.
   Mr. Knoell is a veteran of the United States Navy serving in the 
Vietnam War. Over his twenty years of service, Mr. Knoell received 
multiple medals and awards, including the Submarine Dolphin Warfare 
Pin, the Combat Action Ribbon, and the National Defense Service Medal.
   Upon returning to his community, Mr. Knoell dedicated his time to 
veteran groups in Butte. As a member of the American Legion, he served 
as a key member in the selection of the of Butte for the new Southwest 
Montana Veterans Home. Outside of his work with veterans' groups, Mr. 
Knoell serves on the Board of Directors for the Legion Oasis Apartment 
Complex, which provides low- and medium-income housing for the 
residents of Butte. He is also known to be a great Butte promoter, 
bringing events to the community such as the Harley Owners State Rally, 
and the United States Submarine Veterans Incorporated.
   I ask my colleagues to join me today in commending Roger Knoell for 
his service to his country and his dedication to the Butte Community.
