  Mr. GIANFORTE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Thomas Price 
of Eureka, a recipient of the 2019 Montana Congressional Veteran 
Commendation for his service to his country and leadership in his 
community.
   Mr. Price is a veteran of the United States Navy. He served from 
1944 to 1946 on the USS Missoula APA 211 earning the Pacific 2 Star 
Award and attaining the rank of Seaman First Class. He was on board the 
USS Missoula when the flag was raised on Mount Suribachi during the 
Battle of Iwo Jima on February 23, 1945.
   Serving his community, Mr. Price has worked with special needs 
children for 25 years. He's given ten scholarships to local high school 
graduating seniors. He's also spent many years serving on boards for 
the local nursing home and Lincoln County Fairgrounds. Mr. Price even 
puts on a weekly bingo game and donates the proceeds to local charities 
throughout his community.
   Mr. Price is a humble man who continually helps others. He has a 
generous heart and always blessed the people in his community.
   I ask my colleagues to join me today in commending Thomas Price for 
his dedication and service.
