  Mr. FALLON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. Quint 
Avenetti, of Rockwall, Texas, and present him with the Congressional 
Patriot Award. Quint has dedicated himself to faithfully serving our 
community and country.
  Quint was born in Hayden, Arizona, in 1962. He enlisted in the United 
States Marine Corps in 1980 and participated in active service for 
nearly three decades. From providing security to several U.S. Embassies 
around the world to being deployed during the Gulf War and Global War 
on Terrorism, Quint served with distinction and merit. He specialized 
in Joint Targeting, Geodesy, Counterfire Radar, Artillery Operations, 
and Fire Support. As a result of his exceptional leadership and 
expertise, Quint achieved the rank of Chief Warrant Officer 5.
  After retiring from the military in March 2008, Quint moved to 
Rockwall with his family. He currently serves as the Vice President of 
the Combat Systems Sector for Navmar Applied Science Corp. In this 
role, Quint works diligently to train the next generation of Marine 
Joint Fire Observers, enhance security at diplomatic locations for the 
State Department, and develop unmanned aircraft technology. In addition 
to his work in protecting our national security, he serves on the 
Advisory Board for Veterans Mortgage of America to help veterans 
succeed in home ownership. Quint is the Commandant of the CWO2 James 
Randolph Detachment of the Marine Corps League and is involved with 
many veterans' advocacy organizations. He also serves as a mentor to 
Eagle Scouts and was the previous Scoutmaster of Rockwall Troop 989. I 
am proud of Quint's contributions to our community, and I am sure he 
will continue to make a positive impact on the world around us for many 
years to come.
  It is an honor to bestow Quint with the Patriot Award for his 
exceptional service to our Nation and the people of North Texas.
