  Mr. FALLON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. Frank 
``Teddy'' Peinado of Aubrey, Texas, and present him with the 
Congressional Patriot Award. Teddy is a true American patriot who has 
dedicated himself to serving and uplifting our community.
  Since he was young, Teddy held a strong passion for military history. 
He attended Texas A&M University as a member of its prestigious Corps 
of Cadets. Teddy graduated from Texas A&M with a bachelor's degree in 
construction science and later earned his master's degree in 
construction management. For over 30 years, he worked in the building 
industry and supervised the construction of over 11 million square feet 
of office space. In 2010, Teddy founded Peinado Construction, the 
largest industrial contractor in the Dallas-Fort Worth area with 
offices in Houston, College Station, and San Antonio. Peinado 
Construction specializes in industrial, data center, and office 
construction projects to deliver stellar results for clients.
  For his outstanding work and entrepreneurship, Teddy received Texas 
A&M's Aggie 100 award in 2017 and 2018. He was recognized as the 2017 
Hispanic Businessman of the Year by the United States Hispanic Chamber 
of Commerce and serves on the board of the United States Hispanic 
Business Council. Additionally, Teddy is a passionate advocate for 
education. He established the Teddy Peinado Endowed Scholarship in 
Commercial Construction and the Peinado Industrial Tilt-Wall 
Construction Endowed Scholarship for Texas A&M students. As a strong 
supporter of our nation's veterans and first responders, Teddy actively 
works with Carry the Load, Helicopters for Heroes, 22 Kill, and Sons of 
the Flag. I am proud of the work he has accomplished for our community, 
and I wish him continued success for many years to come.
  It is an honor to bestow Teddy with the Patriot Award for his 
exceptional service to the people of North Texas.
