  Mr. FALLON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mrs. Kathryn 
``Kathy'' Puckett of Howe, Texas, and present her with the 
Congressional Patriot Award. Kathy has dedicated herself to serving and 
uplifting our community.
  Shortly after graduating from high school in 1970, Kathy married her 
high school sweetheart, Logan. Together, they moved to Tehran, Iran, 
where Logan worked in the oilfield industry and Kathy taught 
conversational English at the University of Tehran. After a decade of 
traveling and living in fifteen countries around the world, Kathy and 
Logan returned home to start a family.
  Since then, she has been actively involved with numerous community 
and political organizations in North Texas. Kathy helped organize food 
drives, provide voter registration assistance, and elect local 
candidates. She also taught financial literacy courses and volunteered 
with her church's youth department to raise awareness of the issue of 
homelessness.
  Kathy previously served as the President of the Grayson County 
Republican Women and is the current District Director for the Texas 
Federation of Republican Women in SD30. In her free time, she enjoys 
quilting, yoga, traveling, and spending time with her grandchildren. I 
am proud to recognize Kathy today for her outstanding efforts to 
support those in need. I'm confident she will continue to make a 
positive impact in our community for many years to come.
  It is an honor to bestow Kathy with the Patriot Award for her 
exceptional service to the people of North Texas.
