  Mr. CARTER of Texas. Mr Speaker, I am proud to honor Commander Jon 
Lux, U.S. Navy, Retired, with a Congressional Veteran Commendation. 
Commander Lux's commitment, strength, and leadership reflects the very 
best of Texas.
  Commander Lux's distinguished naval career spanned over 2 decades. 
After being commissioned as an Ensign in the U.S. Navy, he served as a 
Surface Warfare Officer on multiple sea tours, primarily in the Middle 
East. His assignments also include serving as Commander, Mine Warfare 
Command and Commander, Mine Countermeasures Squadron Three, as well as 
Executive Officer of Naval Station Ingleside, Texas.
  Following his military service, Commander Lux continued to 
demonstrate his dedication to his community. He has served on the Cedar 
Park City Council, the Cedar Park Tourism and Advisory Board, and the 
Planning and Zoning Committee. Additionally, he is a member of the 
Board of Directors for the Williamson County Appraisal Board, where he 
also chaired the Bond Oversight Committee. Driven by a passion for 
service, Commander Lux was a founding member of American Legion Post 
911 in Cedar Park, raising funds for the Gold Star Monument and 
supporting Boys and Girls State programs. Commander Lux is a devoted 
husband to his wife, Michelle, and a proud father to their two 
children.
  I commend Commander Lux's dedication to his community and our Nation. 
I join his colleagues, family, and friends, in honoring his career, 
saluting his commitment to public service, and celebrating his 
outstanding achievements.
