  Mr. FALLON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. Sean Michael 
Terry of Pilot Point, Texas, and present him with the Congressional 
Patriot Award. Sean has dedicated himself to faithfully serving our 
community.
  A native of Gunter, Sean earned his bachelor's degree in Agricultural 
Economics from Texas A&M University and began his career as a claims 
adjuster for State Farm Insurance and equipment salesman. For over 25 
years, he has distinguished himself through public service as a 
volunteer firefighter, councilmember, and Mayor of the City of Celina. 
Sean has also served as President of the North Texas Mayors Association 
and board member of the Celina Rodeo Foundation Board. In addition, he 
has been the Vice President of Entitlements for Centurion American 
Development Group since 2013. Under his leadership as Celina's mayor, 
the city experienced remarkable economic growth and investments. Sean 
also led the effort to connect all Celina residents to high-speed 
internet, which led to Celina's recognition as the first Gigabit City 
in Texas.
  For his outstanding contributions and service, Sean has earned 
numerous accolades, including the Outstanding Leader Award from the 
City of Celina, the Community Builder Award, and the Celina Varsity 
Cheer Parent of the Year Award. He has also been recognized by the 
Celina Fire Department and received a proclamation from the Collin 
County Commissioners Court for the State of Texas. Sean's leadership 
and community advocacy have made a profound impact on the City of 
Celina and the North Texas region. I am pleased to recognize him today 
for his unwavering dedication to public service, and I wish him 
continued success.
  It is an honor to bestow Sean with the Patriot Award for his 
exceptional service to the people of North Texas.
