Mr. CARTER of Texas. Mr. Speaker. I am honored to present Major General William Streeter, U.S. Army, Retired, with a Congressional Veteran Commendation. His lifetime of dedication to his beloved Army and Nation speaks to his patriotism, moral character, and devotion to others.

His superb service to the Army and his nation exemplifies what it means to commit his life to his country. Former commander of Fort Cavazos' legendary 1st Cavalry Division--one of the most decorated combat divisions in the U.S. Army--MG Streeter ensured First Team maintained its storied reputation as one of the world's elite fighting forces. He was honored with numerous high-ranking awards like the Distinguished Service Medal, Legion of Merit, and two Bronze Stars, along with the admiration of his peers and those he led during his decades in the service.

Since his retirement from active duty in 1993, MG Streeter has continued his dedication to the betterment of our country and community through service, active involvement, and support of civic organizations. He devotes his energies toward several charities including the Kiwanis Club, Veterans and Homeowners' Associations, and his local church, never forgetting the importance of living a full life for others.

MG Streeter's life tells the story of a man unafraid to contribute both his time and energies to the defense of our nation as well as a multitude of organizations that rely on volunteerism and social engagement to make good communities great. He is a most deserving recipient of a Congressional Veterans Commendation.
