  Mr. FALLON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. Fred Moses of 
Plano, Texas and present him with the Congressional Patriot Award. Fred 
is an outstanding leader who has dedicated himself to faithfully 
serving our community.
  As a young man, Fred was passionate about the political process and 
knew he wanted to play a bigger role in shaping the future of our 
Nation. Shortly after graduating from the University of Bridgeport in 
Connecticut with a bachelor's degree in marketing, he was elected 
Justice of the Peace in Bridgeport and officiated marriages. Fred later 
moved to Plano and has remained active in local Republican politics for 
over 40 years. In 2008, he was elected as the Chairman of the Collin 
County Republican Party and worked diligently to advance the 
conservative agenda in North Texas. For his outstanding leadership and 
service, Fred was awarded the prestigious John McVeigh Award by the 
Collin County Republican Party.
  Furthermore, Fred has launched numerous charitable initiatives to 
benefit our community. Since 1980, he has worked with the Plano 
Community Forum to provide scholarships for students in need and 
established scholarship endowment awards at colleges and universities 
nationwide. He has also supported charitable programs to help eradicate 
cancer and heart disease. For his work, Fred was awarded the Living 
Legend Award by Collin County Community College and inducted into the 
Minority Business Hall of Fame in 2019. Fred is a devoted man of faith 
and serves as an Associate Minister at Shiloh Baptist Church in Plano, 
where he also teaches Sunday School. In his free time, Fred enjoys 
golfing and volunteering with local community organizations.
  It is an honor to bestow Fred with the Patriot Award for his 
exceptional service to our Nation and the people of North Texas.
