  Mr. JACKSON. Madam Speaker, today I am proud to recognize Judge Hugh 
Reed of Claude, Texas as he gathers with friends, family, longtime 
colleagues, and members of the community to celebrate his retirement 
and 70th birthday. After nearly 34 years of distinguished service to 
the fine people of Armstrong County as County Judge, I know I speak for 
the whole county when I say we are grateful for his service and wish 
him well in retirement.
  When asked about the best part of the job in a 2015 interview, Judge 
Reed expressed gratitude to his constituents for giving him the honor 
to serve them. Representing the people of Armstrong County is a clear 
passion for Judge Reed, and I am confident that he will be missed in 
his retirement as he served Armstrong County with diligence and honor.
  In addition to his service as County Judge, Judge Reed also served 
our country in the U.S Marine Corps for 21 years. He is someone who 
truly knows what it means to make sacrifices for the betterment of his 
community and country.
  Judge Reed is an incredible leader with an unwavering commitment to 
West Texas. His legacy will be remembered in Armstrong County for 
generations to come. I stand here today to thank Judge Reed for his 
contribution and service to the people of Armstrong County, and to wish 
him a happy 70th birthday.
