  Mr. SESSIONS. Mr. Speaker, I rise to present William Harvey Reeves of 
Trinity, Texas, with a Congressional Veteran Commendation. His service 
to the Nation and community speaks to the best of Texas. William 
enlisted into the United States Army on December 4, 1963, proudly 
serving in the 716th Military Police Battalion. He was stationed in 
Saigon, Vietnam, eight months and twelve days. His Active Duty 
concluded with an honorable discharge, November 29, 1965, and he 
continued his service as an Army Reservist until December 3, 1969. He 
was awarded the Expert Rifle Badge, Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, 
Driver badge with bar, Overseas Bar and a Good Conduct Medal.
  William has been a well-respected resident of Trinity County for over 
30 years. He has served his community and veterans as a previous 
businessowner and is an active member of several local and state 
organizations, which include the Masonic Lodge, Veterans of Foreign 
Wars, American Legion, and the Trinity County Veterans Wall of Honor 
Society. He also volunteers his time serving on the Deep East Texas 
Military Service Academy Board. William was instrumental in the 
formation of the Trinity County Veterans Wall of Honor and served as 
the Treasurer for 16 years before becoming President in 2023.
  For his unwavering service to the Nation and leadership to his 
community, it is my honor to award William Harvey Reeves with a 
Congressional Veteran Commendation.
