                   WELCOMING CHAPLAIN MARSHALL DUNBAR

  The SPEAKER. Without objection, the gentleman from Texas (Mr. 
Burgess) is recognized for 1 minute.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to speak in honor of our guest 
chaplain, Marshall Dunbar, of Cross Roads, Texas.
  Chaplain Dunbar is the vice president of Spiritual Life and interim 
vice president of Programs for Christian Community Action, one of the 
largest private nonprofits in north Texas. He has an extensive record 
of service to our country and the north Texas community, including 
years in active military service, law enforcement, and homeland 
security.
  Chaplain Dunbar was commissioned into the United States Army Reserve 
Chaplain Corps as a chaplain candidate in 2011, beginning his 
chaplaincy career at the VA Hospital in Dallas. In 2014, he ended his 
military career as a first lieutenant.
  Chaplain Dunbar holds a B.S. in ministry and leadership from Dallas 
Christian College and a master of divinity in chaplaincy from Liberty 
Baptist Theological Seminary. He is currently working toward his doctor 
of ministry degree in Christian leadership and spiritual formation at 
Dallas Theological Seminary.
  I am grateful to Chaplain Dunbar for his service to north Texans and 
the American people. It is a true pleasure to have him here in the 
House, along with his wife, Melinda, and daughter, Elle-Simone. We are 
grateful for his service and we welcome him to the House.
