  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 
Frederick Tiede, Sergeant, United States Army, of Fort Worth, 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. Tiede enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1986, serving as both an 
infantryman as well as a small arms repairer, with deployments to both 
Korea and Afghanistan. His decorations include the Army Achievement 
Medal (7th Award), Meritorious Unit Commendation, Army Good Conduct 
Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Afghanistan Campaign Medal with 
two Campaign Stars, Global War on Terror Service Medal, Korean Defense 
Service Medal, and NATO Medal.
  The selflessness Mr. Tiede demonstrated in the U.S. Army continues 
with his service to his community. He currently serves in the Texas 
State Guard supporting the state's efforts in responding to crises and 
diligently works to serve as a counselor and mentor to his troops, 
especially being available any hour of the day or night to them.
  Mr. Tiede's service is consistent with the finest traditions of the 
United States Army and reflects great credit upon himself, the State of 
Texas, and the United States of America.
