  Ms. VAN DUYNE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Richard G. 
Stewart, Jr. of Irving, TX who served in the U.S. Navy. Over the 
weekend, I had the honor of awarding Richard the 2021 Congressional 
Veteran Commendation.
  Throughout his outstanding 24-year military service record, Richard 
was awarded the Legion of Merit, the Meritorious Service Medal with 
Gold Star, the Navy Commendation Medal, and the Vietnam Service Medal 
with Bronze Star, among many others. Richard retired from the Navy in 
1994 and went on to serve his community in various more ways.
  It is an honor to recognize the distinguished veterans of TX 24 and 
to preserve their stories for future generations of Americans through 
the Congressional Veteran Commendation. I thank Richard for his service 
and the sacrifices he made to protect our great nation.
