  Mr. HERN. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor the First District of 
Oklahoma's February Veteran of the Month, Col. Weydan Flax, USMC (Ret).
  An artillery and communications officer in the United States Marine 
Corps, Col. Weydan Flax honorably served our nation for 30 years. He 
served in Desert Storm, Iraq and Afghanistan.
  After his retirement, he has faithfully served his fellow veterans 
and community through his volunteer work with the VFW, and Marine Corps 
League. In addition to volunteering with veteran organizations, Flax is 
an active board member for The Center for Individuals with Physical 
Disabilities.
  He answered the call to defend freedom across the globe and 
sacrificed whatever was necessary in the name of that noble cause. It 
is my honor to recognize Col. Flax as the First Congressional District 
of Oklahoma's February Veteran of the Month.
