                      Thursday, November 10, 2022

  Mr. FALLON. Madam Speaker, I am honored and privileged to award 
Private James Scott with a Congressional Veteran Commendation. His 
service and sacrifice through the United States Army exemplify his 
national pride and embodiment as a role-model citizen to serve the 
country he loves. Private Scott is truly an ideal candidate to receive 
the Congressional Veteran Commendation.
  Private Scott served as a Private to Sergeant 1st class in the United 
States Army. His devout service led him around the world, including 
deployments in Japan and Korea. With no complaint, Private Scott was 
drafted during a time of uncertainty and bravely defended the 
principles of our great Nation against the evils of communism during 
the Korean War.
  Private Scott's responsibilities in the Army gave a massive advantage 
to the United States. He was in charge of a section that fought the 
enemy, including backup infantry and anti-aircraft half-attacks. Only 
special servicemen have the ability to perform such leadership as 
Private Scott has shown.
  Even at the ripe age of 93, Private Scott continues to attend Korean 
veteran functions and events to honor those who have made the ultimate 
sacrifice. As a true American patriot, he continues to serve those with 
pride.
  I am beyond honored to have Private Scott in Texas' 4th Congressional 
District and am privileged to award such a distinguished citizen for 
his sacrifices.
