On the recordFebruary 6, 2017
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the achievement of a true Arkansas leader, my colleague and friend, Representative Steve Womack. Early this year, Steve was awarded the Department of the Army's Decoration for Distinguished Civilian Service, which is the highest award the Secretary of the Army may bestow upon a civilian. Before being elected Representative for Arkansas' Third Congressional District, Steve dedicated most of his adult life to the Arkansas Army National Guard where he retired as a colonel after 30 years of service. He has been awarded the Meritorious Service Medal, the Army Commendation Medal, and the Legion of Merit. His example is one all Americans and Arkansans can admire, and I treasure our work together here in the 115th Congress representing our State of Arkansas. ____________________
