  Mr. CARTER of Texas. Madam Speaker, I'm honored to celebrate and 
recognize the extraordinary work of Major General Pat Hamilton as he 
transitions into his richly-deserved retirement. His dedication to our 
beloved nation and his community in Round Rock, Texas is the reflection 
of a true and devoted public servant.
  With his altruistic spirit and high-minded vision, MG Hamilton is a 
trusted leader and proud warrior. Throughout his military career, he 
brought his tremendous talents and commitment to excellence to every 
challenge he encountered. His extraordinary work did not go unnoticed 
as he was awarded our nation's highest honors, including the Legion of 
Merit and the Bronze Star Medal. His efforts have been critical in 
maintaining the U.S. military's reputation as the world's greatest 
fighting force.
  MG Hamilton's commitment to investing his gifts, talents, and 
abilities to improve his community is a deeply held creed that speaks 
to the generosity and activism of a true and devoted public servant. 
His resume tells the story of a man unafraid to contribute both his 
time and energies to a multitude of organizations that rely on 
volunteerism and social engagement to make good communities great. His 
commitment to public service represents the best values of Central 
Texas.
  Retirement is meant to be celebrated and enjoyed. It is not the end 
of a career, but the beginning of a new adventure. It is my honor to 
recognize the selfless service of Major General Pat Hamilton as he 
starts this new chapter of his life. On behalf of Central Texas, I 
thank him for his superb work and wish him the very best.
