Mr. CARTER of Texas. Mr Speaker, I am proud to honor Commander Jon Lux, U.S. Navy, Retired, with a Congressional Veteran Commendation. Commander Lux's commitment, strength, and leadership reflects the very best of Texas.

Commander Lux's distinguished naval career spanned over 2 decades. After being commissioned as an Ensign in the U.S. Navy, he served as a Surface Warfare Officer on multiple sea tours, primarily in the Middle East. His assignments also include serving as Commander, Mine Warfare Command and Commander, Mine Countermeasures Squadron Three, as well as Executive Officer of Naval Station Ingleside, Texas.

Following his military service, Commander Lux continued to demonstrate his dedication to his community. He has served on the Cedar Park City Council, the Cedar Park Tourism and Advisory Board, and the Planning and Zoning Committee. Additionally, he is a member of the Board of Directors for the Williamson County Appraisal Board, where he also chaired the Bond Oversight Committee. Driven by a passion for service, Commander Lux was a founding member of American Legion Post 911 in Cedar Park, raising funds for the Gold Star Monument and supporting Boys and Girls State programs. Commander Lux is a devoted husband to his wife, Michelle, and a proud father to their two children.

I commend Commander Lux's dedication to his community and our Nation. I join his colleagues, family, and friends, in honoring his career, saluting his commitment to public service, and celebrating his outstanding achievements.
