  Mr. CARTER of Texas. Mr. Speaker. I am honored to present Major 
General William Streeter, U.S. Army, Retired, with a Congressional 
Veteran Commendation. His lifetime of dedication to his beloved Army 
and Nation speaks to his patriotism, moral character, and devotion to 
others.
  His superb service to the Army and his nation exemplifies what it 
means to commit his life to his country. Former commander of Fort 
Cavazos' legendary 1st Cavalry Division--one of the most decorated 
combat divisions in the U.S. Army--MG Streeter ensured First Team 
maintained its storied reputation as one of the world's elite fighting 
forces. He was honored with numerous high-ranking awards like the 
Distinguished Service Medal, Legion of Merit, and two Bronze Stars, 
along with the admiration of his peers and those he led during his 
decades in the service.
  Since his retirement from active duty in 1993, MG Streeter has 
continued his dedication to the betterment of our country and community 
through service, active involvement, and support of civic 
organizations. He devotes his energies toward several charities 
including the Kiwanis Club, Veterans and Homeowners' Associations, and 
his local church, never forgetting the importance of living a full life 
for others.
  MG Streeter's life tells the story of a man unafraid to contribute 
both his time and energies to the defense of our nation as well as a 
multitude of organizations that rely on volunteerism and social 
engagement to make good communities great. He is a most deserving 
recipient of a Congressional Veterans Commendation.
