HONORING CASE GIBSON
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from
Texas (Mr. Self) for 5 minutes.
Mr. SELF. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Case Gibson from Lone
Oak Middle School in Hunt County, Texas. It is with great honor and
admiration that I recognize his remarkable bravery and selflessness.
During a medical emergency in September of 2023, Case Gibson
demonstrated extraordinary courage and quick thinking, ultimately
saving the life of a fellow student. Despite the intense and urgent
situation, he fearlessly jumped into action, displaying a level of
empathy, bravery, and maturity far beyond his years.
The heroic actions of Case Gibson on this day serve as a shining
example of the exceptional character and leadership qualities he
embodies, both within Lone Oak Middle School and the community.
In addition to his heroic deed, he is recognized for his outstanding
academic achievements, his leadership skills, and his humble,
respectful, and thoughtful demeanor.

Honoring Staff Sergeant J.B. McNatt
Mr. SELF. Mr. Speaker, I am privileged to honor Staff Sergeant J.B.
McNatt of Greenville, Texas, who recently marked his 100th birthday on
April 18, 2024.
Staff Sergeant McNatt is a true example of courage, sacrifice, and
commitment. He served our Nation with honor in the U.S. Army Air Corps
during World War II, during which he worked as a pilot in multiple duty
assignments.
His dedication to our Nation and its values extended far beyond his
military service, as he contributed to the betterment of our society in
the postwar years in his hometown.
Staff Sergeant McNatt serves as both an inspiring testament to the
resilience of the human spirit and a living reminder of the sacrifices
made by the Greatest Generation in the pursuit of freedom. For this, I
extend my eternal gratitude.
