  Ms. VAN DUYNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today on behalf of a grateful 
Nation and the citizens of the Twenty-Fourth District of Texas, the 
2023 Congressional Veteran Commendation is hereby presented to Phillip 
Doll, Petty Officer First Class, United States Navy, of Euless, 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. Doll enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1983, serving aboard the USS 
Mississippi, a nuclear-powered guided missile cruiser as well as a Navy 
recruiter. His decorations include the Good Conduct Medal, Navy 
Expeditionary Medal, the Navy Gold Wreath Award with 4 Silver Stars, 
the National Defense Service Medal, Sea Service Deployment Ribbon, the 
Navy Battle ``E'' Award, the Navy Recruiting Service Ribbon, and the 
Navy Achievement Medal.
  The selflessness Mr. Doll demonstrated in the U.S. Navy continues 
with his service to his community. He currently serves as a member of 
the Park Hollow Homeowner's Association Board (HOA), where he has spent 
countless hours maintaining the common areas of the Homeowner's 
Association. He has fixed motorcycles, generators, and lawnmowers for 
friends and neighbors. He is an advocate for legal gun ownership and 
has helped neighbors learn firearms safety. Mr. Doll is always ready to 
lend a hand to the neighbors in his HOA.
  Mr. Doll'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.
