  Ms. VAN DUYNE. Madam Speaker, on behalf of a grateful Nation and the 
citizens of the Texas-24, the 2021 Congressional Veteran Commendation 
is hereby presented to Aubrey Bruce Stacy, Lieutenant Colonel, United 
States Army, of Colleyville, Texas for his honorable service in the

dedication to his community.

  Mr. Stacy was commissioned as an officer in the U.S. Army in 1966 and 
spent over 20 years as an infantry officer before retiring in 1989. 
During his time in service, he was deployed to Vietnam, where in 1967 
his platoon was ambushed by the Viet Cong. Stacy successfully led his 
men in a charge on the enemy's well-fortified position, and in another 
firefight took point position to maneuver his platoon to safety out of 
the kill zone. In 1969, Stacy managed to move several of his wounded 
troops from the assault area while under attack from the Vietnamese 
despite being wounded himself. Stacy's actions during the war earned 
him the Silver Star with an Oak Leaf Cluster denoting a second award, 
the Purple Heart with an Oak Leaf Cluster denoting a second award, the 
Bronze Star with V device denoting valorous actions, the Meritorious 
Service Medal with two Oak Leaf Cluster denoting subsequent awards, the 
Army Achievement Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, the Vietnam 
Service Medal, and the Republic of Vietnam Service Medal.
  After retiring from the Army, Mr. Stacy has brought the same love he 
had for his country and poured it into making his community a better 
place. He has served as President of the Colleyville Rotary Club, the 
Board of Directors of the Fort Worth Air Power Council, and a permanent 
member of the 82nd Airborne Association.
  Mr. Stacy's career is marked with heroism and consistent with the 
finest traditions of the United States Army and reflects great credit 
upon himself, the State of Texas, and the United States of America.
