  Mr. BURGESS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to remember the life of Roy 
Lawrence Wilson who passed away recently. He had a distinguished 
military career, retiring from the U.S. Army in 1997 at the rank of 
Colonel. Between 1967 through 1971, he served three tours of duty in 
Vietnam and was decorated with multiple awards and citations including 
a Bronze Star Medal with an oak leaf cluster and an Army Commendation 
Medal with an oak leaf cluster. Subsequently, he was recalled to active 
service for Operations Desert Storm and Desert Shield.
  Dr. Wilson had a private practice in Richardson, Texas as a dentist 
and oral surgeon and was a member of the American Association of Oral 
and Maxillofacial Surgeons and the American Dental Association. After 
twenty years in private practice, he devoted his time during retirement 
to train students as a clinical advisor at the Texas A&M College of 
Dentistry.
  It is my honor to recognize Roy Wilson's notable service in the 
military and medical field. He was a beloved husband, father and 
grandfather and will be sorely missed by his family and friends to whom 
I extend my sincere condolences.
