  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the life of 
Major General Robert Scott Frix, and recognize his 34 years of service 
in the United States Army. General Frix will be interred May 11, 2012 
at Arlington National Cemetery.
  Major General Frix served in the United States Army for 34 years as a 
combat infantryman, Ranger instructor, master parachutist, and master 
aviator. He served tours in the Vietnam War, Operations Desert Shield 
and Desert Storm, and was deployed to Pakistan, Afghanistan, Kenya, and 
Somalia. Among Major General Frix's decorations are the Distinguished 
Service Medal, Legion of Merit, Distinguished Flying Cross, Bronze Star 
Medal, Air Medals for valor, Meritorious Service Medal, and the Army 
Commendation Medal.
  Major General Frix passed away Thursday, December 15, 2011, at his 
home in Sequim, Washington. He is survived by his loving wife, Maureen; 
his sister, Joanna; his brother-in-law, Andrew; his son, Alexander; his 
daughter-in-law, Kathryn; and his daughter, Michele.
  Major General Frix lived his life in dedication to his Country, and 
he has passed that down to his family. Major General Frix's life serves 
as an inspiration to all of us on living a life dedicated to service to 
our country and to our fellow man.
