                           HON. BRIAN J. MAST

                        Friday, August 22, 2025

  Mr. MAST. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a true American hero, 
Sergeant Rohn Hultgren of Palm Beach County, Florida. Sgt. Hultgren is 
a father, husband, soldier, and public servant whose courage on the 
battlefield and commitment to my community deserves our recognition.
  During his service in Afghanistan, Sgt. Hultgren's convoy was struck 
by an improvised explosive device. The blast left him with a broken 
femur and a traumatic brain injury. As a result, Sgt. Hultgren 
underwent extensive speech therapy, but he never wavered in his 
devotion to our Nation or his fellow soldiers. For his sacrifice and 
bravery, he was awarded the Purple Heart.
  Mr. Speaker, Sgt. Hultgren did not allow any of his injuries to 
define his life here at home. After being honorably discharged from the 
Army as a Sergeant E-5, he dedicated himself to serving other veterans 
in Florida's 21st Congressional District. Today, as Veteran Services 
Manager for the Palm Beach County Division of Senior and Veteran 
Services, Sgt.

Hultgren continues his mission by ensuring that our veterans receive 
the support they fought for. Sgt. Hultgren has been with Veteran 
Services for seven years, and he has been manager for three of those 
years. Everyone he's served knows that he's gone above and beyond for 
our nation and community. His wife of 22 years and their three children 
all reside in my community, and we are proud of their family's faith 
and resilience.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the people of my community, I am proud to 
recognize and honor Sgt. Rohn Hultgren for his service and continued 
dedication to the men and women who wore our Nation's uniform.
