  Ms. VAN DUYNE. Madam Speaker, on behalf of a grateful nation and the 
citizens of the Texas Twenty-Fourth Congressional District, the 2021 
Congressional Veteran Commendation is hereby presented to Stephen 
LeClaire, Airman 1st Class, United States Air Force of Bedford, Texas 
for his honorable service in the Armed Forces of the United States of 
America and for his continued dedication to his community.
  Mr. LeClaire enlisted in the U.S. Air Force in 1961, having served in 
an engineering unit until being honorably discharged in 1967. His 
decorations include the National Defense Service Medal and the Good 
Conduct Medal.
  After leaving the Air Force, Mr. LeClaire has brought the same love

place. He has served on several boards, commissions, and committees. 
Among these are as a member of the commission for Boy Scouts of America 
Troop 499, a volunteer for Boy Scouts of America Troop 387 for 7 years, 
a soccer coach for the YMCA, an organizer for the Ronald McDonald House 
charity, and a member of the HEB Community Emergency Response Team.
  Mr. LeClaire's career is marked with heroism and is consistent with 
the finest traditions of the United States Air Force and reflects great 
credit upon himself, the State of Texas, and the United States of 
America.
