Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. FALLON. Madam Speaker, I am honored and privileged to award Petty Officer Harold Scott with a Congressional Veteran Commendation. His service and sacrifice through the United States Navy exemplify his national pride and embodiment as a role-model citizen to serve the country he loves. Petty Officer Scott is truly an ideal candidate to receive the Congressional Veteran Commendation.

Petty Officer Scott is a true American patriot whose sacrifices truly bettered the United States of America. As a volunteer, Petty Officer Scott was willing to risk his life to protect the freedoms he takes pride in.

Petty Officer Scott held multiple positions as a versatile serviceman. As a Fireman in the engine room, he maintained order and created an environment of order to ensure nothing would happen to the ship. During a time when the United States of America needed strong young men to step up, Petty Officer Scott certainly delivered during his time in the Korean War. Serving across various ports on the east coast, west coast, and along the Mediterranean sea, Petty Officer Scott sacrificed all he could with no complaint.

I am beyond honored to have Petty Officer Scott in Texas' 4th Congressional district and am privileged to award such a distinguished citizen for his sacrifices.
