nation and the citizens of the Twenty-Fourth District of Texas, the

service he performed while in the Armed Forces of the United States of 
America and for his continued service to his community.
  Mr. Ryan was commissioned as an officer in the U.S. Army in 1972, 
serving as a Military Police officer. His decorations include the Army
