  Mr. FALLON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. Brian White of 
Frisco, Texas, and present him with the Congressional Patriot Award. 
Brian has dedicated himself to faithfully serving our community and 
country.
  Brian was born in Shawnee, Oklahoma, and attended Del City High 
School. He served in the United States Army from 1982 to 1991 as a 
Howitzer Section Chief and Field Artillery Instructor. After leaving 
the Army, Brian obtained his Journeyman Plumbing and Gas Fitting 
license. He later began a 20-year career auditing and risk management 
at several large financial institutions, where he held leadership 
positions. In 2021, Brian received his bachelor's degree in applied 
management from Grand Canyon University. He is certified as an Internal 
Control Auditor and currently works as a Regulatory Compliance and 
Operational Risk consultant at Forvis Mazars USA, a top 10 accounting 
firm.
  Alongside his professional career, Brian serves as the Director of 
Family Outreach for Memories of Honor, a nonprofit organization devoted 
to honoring fallen veterans and supporting Gold Star families. Brian 
works closely with several nonprofits, including the Frontline Healing 
Foundation, Warrior's Heart, and the One Tribe Foundation, to support 
veteran communities. In addition, he served as a running coach for the 
Crohn's and Colitis Foundation for many years to raise awareness and 
funds to help tackle these diseases. I am proud of the work Brian has 
accomplished for our community, and I wish him continued success for 
many years to come.
  It is an honor to bestow Brian with the Patriot Award for his 
exceptional service to our Nation and the people of North Texas.
