                       RECOGNIZING GUSTAVO CARUSO

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I am grateful to recognize 
the 2023 Army Congressional Fellow, Major Gustavo Caruso, for his 
service to the office of the Second Congressional District of South 
Carolina.
  His yearlong service in Congress is ending, and Gus will be missed. 
He has been an indispensable contributor to legislative goals, 
including the fiscal year 2024 National Defense Authorization Act. He 
has been a valued team member for the military and veterans.
  Gus has received deserved awards in his 14 years of service, 
including combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. He was deployed to the 
Poland-Ukraine border to face the murderous invasion of Ukraine by war 
criminal Putin.
  Gus hails from Georgia, has a bachelor's degree from the University 
of Hawaii, and holds two graduate degrees. His next assignment will be 
at the Pentagon, where Gus will continue his promotion of peace through 
strength.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops who have successfully protected 
America for 20 years as the global war on terrorism continues, moving 
from the Afghanistan safe haven to America. Senator Tommy Tuberville is 
correct that there will be 9/11 attacks ``every few days'' due to 
Biden's open borders for terrorists.
