  Mr. FALLON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and celebrate Mr. 
Gary Singleton of Bowie County, Texas, and to present him with the 
Congressional Patriot Award. Gary has dedicated his life to faithfully 
serving his community and country.
  Born in Texarkana, Texas, Gary attended school in the Texarkana and 
Liberty-Eylau districts before pursuing higher education at Texarkana 
College, Texas A&M Commerce, and Texas A&M--Texarkana, where he earned 
a Bachelor of Science in Business with a minor in computer science. In 
1990, he married the love of his life, Lisa Singleton, with whom he has 
shared many pets, memories, and accomplishments.
  After graduating, Gary began his professional career at the Lone Star 
Army Ammunition Plant, where he served for 26 years, advancing from IT 
Programmer to Senior Systems Analyst and ultimately Manager of IT 
Operations. He later worked for Alcoa Inc. as Site Conversion and 
Development Lead, overseeing software conversions, and for Cooper Tire 
and Rubber Company as a Systems Analyst. Gary applied his expertise in 
healthcare technology at the Collom & Carney Clinic in Texarkana and 
Willis Knighton Health System in Shreveport, Louisiana, before 
returning to Collom & Carney Clinic, where he is currently employed.
  Beyond his professional career, Gary has demonstrated exceptional 
dedication to civic and political engagement. Beginning in the 1980's, 
he served as Precinct Chair, later Vice Chairman, and ultimately 
Chairman of the Bowie County Republican Party. He served for over 15 
years as a Board Member and Vice President of the Bowie County 
Republicans PAC and held leadership roles with the National Management 
Association--LSAAP Chapter. Among his proudest achievements, Gary was 
honored as a Presidential Elector from Texas' 1st Congressional 
District in 2024, casting his vote for Donald J. Trump in the Texas 
House of Representatives Chamber in Austin.
  Gary Singleton's lifelong commitment to his community, his 
profession, and his Nation truly exemplifies what it means to be a 
patriot. It is an honor to recognize his exceptional contributions and 
to present him with the Congressional Patriot Award in appreciation of 
his steadfast service to the people of Bowie County and the United 
States of America.
