                       Monday, November 18, 2019

  Mr. GIANFORTE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize George Wright 
of Laurel for the Montana Congressional Veteran Commendation for his 
service to our country and dedication to his community.
   Mr. Wright served in the U.S. Army during World War II, operating 
construction equipment in order to create infrastructure for fellow 
troops. Mr. Wright received multiple commendations for his service, 
including the Bronze Star and Good Conduct Medal.
   Following his service, Mr. Wright came home to serve his community. 
Mr. Wright owned equipment that made it possible for him to help fix 
what was needed, from cars to roads and much more. He was a fixture on 
ranches when roads washed out or cattle needed rescuing during floods.
   I ask my colleagues to join me today in commending George Wright for 
his dedication and service.
