I rise to recognize a dear friend and former colleague, Patrick McHenry. This week, the United States Capitol Historical Society is recognizing Patrick as a recipient of the Freedom Award. The award serves to recognize and honor individuals and organizations that have advanced greater public understanding and appreciation for freedom as represented by the U.S. Capitol and Congress. Madam Speaker, there is no question in my mind that Patrick McHenry deserves this award and continued praise for his service to the Nation and to North Carolina. I congratulate Patrick on this recognition for his patriotism, for being a wonderful role model, and for his overall service to the Nation. May God continue to bless Patrick, and may He continue to bless his wonderful family.
