                       Monday, December 11, 2023

  Mr. CARTER of Texas. Mr. Speaker, it is my privilege to present a 
Congressional Veteran Commendation to Lieutenant Colonel Robert Crouch, 
U.S. Army, Retired, for his exemplary service. His commitment to 
investing his gifts, talents, and abilities to his Nation serves as a 
reminder of our most sacred ideals.
  Serving in the Army from 1990 until 2011, LTC Crouch served in 
various locations and operations however, the most significant being 
during Operation Iraqi Freedom II in 2006 through 2008 and 2009 through 
2011. He is a decorated veteran with awards including the Iraq Campaign 
Medal (4 Campaign Stars), Army Commendation Medal, Army Achievement 
Medal, and others. His most significant memory during his military 
service is his gratitude for his family and friends when he was coming 
home after his first deployment from serving in a combat zone for 12 
months.
  After retiring after 20+ years of military service, LTC Crouch still 
had more to give to his community and local veterans. Currently, he

serves as the Vice President of the National Mounted Warfare Foundation 
which is building a world-class military museum in the heart of Texas 
to honor the history of the units and soldiers who have served at Fort 
Cavazos and to share their untold stories. His efforts don't stop there 
as LTC Crouch is a part of the National Eagle Scout Association, The 
Association of Quartermasters, The American Legion, and among other 
local groups.
  I proudly join LTC Robert Crouch's family, friends, and colleagues in 
acknowledging his selfless service. His fearless support and devotion 
to others make him a deserving recipient of a Congressional Veteran 
Commendation.
