  Mr. FALLON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Staff Sergeant 
Jack Eramdjian of Celina, Texas, and to honor him with a Congressional 
Veteran Commendation. Staff Sergeant Eramdjian honorably served in the 
United States Army from 1964 to 1966 and in the United States Army 
Reserve from 1966 to 1970, demonstrating steadfast dedication and 
service to our Nation.
  Staff Sergeant Eramdjian began his military career as a first-year 
drill sergeant at Fort Ord, California, where he trained new recruits 
and helped shape the next generation of soldiers with discipline, 
strength, and integrity. His service later took him to Fort Lewis, 
Washington, where he served proudly with the 4th Infantry Division. 
Throughout his time in uniform, Jack excelled in multiple roles--as an 
infantryman, field generator specialist, and brigade commander's 
driver--demonstrating adaptability, professionalism, and dedication to 
mission success. His commitment to excellence and leadership earned him 
the Army Good Conduct Medal, recognizing his honorable service and 
steadfast devotion to duty.
  Following his military career, Jack continued to live a life of 
service during his 27 years with the American Red Cross in California, 
where he deployed across the country to assist communities recovering 
from disasters. A tireless advocate for veterans, Jack dedicates his 
time to advising others on their benefits and claims, promoting 
participation in Honor Flight, and proudly serving as a member of the 
American Legion for the past 14 years. In addition, as a certified 
scuba dive master and master diver, Jack has shared his expertise by 
training sheriff rescue teams in saltwater operations.
  I am deeply honored to recognize Staff Sergeant Jack Eramdjian for 
his outstanding courage, patriotism, and lifelong devotion to serving 
others. He exemplifies the very best of Texas' 4th Congressional 
District and of the United States of America.
