                        Monday, November 7, 2022

  Mr. FALLON. Madam Speaker, I am honored and privileged to award Major 
Michael Hogge with a Congressional Veteran Commendation. His service 
and sacrifice through the United States Air Force exemplify his 
national pride and embodiment as a role-model citizen to serve the 
country he loves. Major Hogge is truly an ideal candidate to receive 
the Congressional Veteran Commendation.
  Major Hogge served as a Captain Chief of Logistics for the Air Force 
where he contributed his expertise and knowledge as a maintenance 
manager for over ten years. With a brilliant mind in logistics, he 
contributed his skill set in fixed, tactical, and airborne systems.
  Major Hogge has undergone extreme training in electronics, including 
the formal Air Force electronics systems training, accompanied by many 
years of experience as an electrician technician. Throughout his 
military deployment, Major Hogge was known as an effective manager 
which he applied to everyday life.
  Major Hogge's life in service did not end with his retirement from 
the military. He continues to support various veteran community events 
in Hunt County and donates his time to local military fundraisers such 
as 1000 Miles Till Home.
  As an avid leader in his community, Major Hogge is a true patriot to 
those around him. Whether it's using his repair skills through his 
church or building homes for the impoverished in Mexico, Major Hogge is 
defined by humbly dedicating his life to service.
  I am beyond honored to have Major Hogge in Texas' 4th Congressional 
district and am privileged to award such a distinguished citizen for 
his sacrifices.
