Mr. FALLON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. Sean Michael Terry of Pilot Point, Texas, and present him with the Congressional Patriot Award. Sean has dedicated himself to faithfully serving our community.

A native of Gunter, Sean earned his bachelor's degree in Agricultural Economics from Texas A&M University and began his career as a claims adjuster for State Farm Insurance and equipment salesman. For over 25 years, he has distinguished himself through public service as a volunteer firefighter, councilmember, and Mayor of the City of Celina. Sean has also served as President of the North Texas Mayors Association and board member of the Celina Rodeo Foundation Board. In addition, he has been the Vice President of Entitlements for Centurion American Development Group since 2013. Under his leadership as Celina's mayor, the city experienced remarkable economic growth and investments. Sean also led the effort to connect all Celina residents to high-speed internet, which led to Celina's recognition as the first Gigabit City in Texas.

For his outstanding contributions and service, Sean has earned numerous accolades, including the Outstanding Leader Award from the City of Celina, the Community Builder Award, and the Celina Varsity Cheer Parent of the Year Award. He has also been recognized by the Celina Fire Department and received a proclamation from the Collin County Commissioners Court for the State of Texas. Sean's leadership and community advocacy have made a profound impact on the City of Celina and the North Texas region. I am pleased to recognize him today for his unwavering dedication to public service, and I wish him continued success.

It is an honor to bestow Sean with the Patriot Award for his exceptional service to the people of North Texas.
