  Ms. VAN DUYNE. Madam Speaker, on behalf of a grateful nation and the 
Citizens of the Twenty-Fourth District of Texas, the 2022 Congressional 
Veteran Commendation is hereby presented to Tracy Shane Chumbley, 
Damage Controlman Second Class, United States Navy, of Dallas, Texas 
for the honorable service he performed while in the Armed Forces of the 
United States of America and for his continued service to his 
community.
  Mr. Chumbley enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1989 as a Damage 
Controlman, seeing sea service during Operation Desert Shield and 
Operation Desert Storm, and helped provide relief efforts during the 
1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, for which he was awarded the Humanitarian 
Service Medal. His decorations. in addition to the Humanitarian Service 
Medal, include the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal and the Southwest 
Asia Service Medal.
  The selflessness Mr. Chumbley demonstrated in the U.S. Navy continues 
with his service to the community. He is a firefighter with the Garland 
Fire Department and works closely with the Dallas chapter of the Court 
Appointed Special Advocates Association (CASA), which pairs community 
volunteers with abused and neglected children to help judges make the 
best decision when finding a new caring and safe home for those 
children.
  Mr. Chumbley's service is consistent with the finest traditions of 
the United States Navy and reflects great credit upon himself, the 
State of Texas, and the United States of America.
