RECOGNIZING THE SERVICE OF LIEUTENANT COLONEL KYLE FRAZER
______
HON. PAT FALLON
of texas
in the house of representatives
Wednesday, July 23, 2025
Mr. FALLON. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Lieutenant Colonel Kyle
Frazer's exemplary and distinguished record of service to our Nation. A
native of Minneapolis, Minnesota, Kyle was commissioned as an Infantry
Officer in 2008 through the University of Utah. He earned his master's
degree in Legislative Affairs from George Washington University in
2023.
Kyle was an honor graduate from the Army's Ranger School, Basic
Officer Leader's Course, and Air Assault schools. After completing
Airborne school and Master Jumpmaster school with distinction, Kyle
spent most of his 17-year career at the tactical level specializing in
combined arms maneuvers and large-scale combat operations. He deployed
three times in support of Operations Iraqi Freedom, Enduring Freedom,
and Inherent Resolve. Kyle has served as a platoon leader and company
commander, senior observer controller, Deputy Chief of Operations of
Combined Joint Task Force-Operation Inherent Resolve, battalion and
brigade operations officer, and as a congressional staffer, where he
was my National Security and Defense Fellow.
Kyle currently serves as a Legislative Liaison for the Army in the
House of Representatives. Kyle has been the face of the Army for 435
members of the House of Representatives, with direct influence over 13
states covering 88 Members of Congress. Kyle built, promoted, and
facilitated lines of communication between Congress and the Army that
were instrumental in maintaining relationships between the executive
and legislative branches. Through his ability to clearly define the
Army's message and help navigate the needs of Congress to provide
essential oversight requirements, Kyle has made a lasting impact on our
Nation's ability to respond to global threats, modernize the Army, and
maintain the Army's readiness at the highest level.
I want to thank Kyle for his dedication and steadfast commitment to
our country. In August, he will be taking over the ROTC program at his
alma mater, the University of Utah, where I know he will continue to
lead with excellence and honor. I want to extend my deepest gratitude
to Kyle, his wife, Annie, and their two children, Eleanor and Theodore,
for their sacrifices and contributions to the strength and security of
our great Nation. I congratulate Kyle, and I wish him the very best.
