Lewisville, TX – Today U.S. Rep. Michael C. Burgess (R-Lewisville) recognized the five veterans who received this year’s Congressional Veteran Commendation (CVC). The CVC was created six years ago to honor the distinguished living veterans of Texas’ 26th Congressional District. Nominations were received from the community, veterans organizations and civic groups.

This year’s commendations were presented at the eighth annual “Salute Our Veterans” luncheon sponsored by the Highland Village Business Association and the City of Highland Village. The five recipients of this year’s Congressional Veteran Commendation are: 
    • Major Lee Roy Keith, U.S. Marine Corps (Denton) 
    • Sergeant Arlen Ray Mayfield, Jr., U.S. Army (Lewisville) 
    • Master Sergeant Guy Northrup, U.S. Marine Corps(Lewisville) 
    • Colonel Larry Patterson, U.S. Army (Highland Village) 
    • Major Richard Stewart , U.S. Army/U.S. Air Force ( Denton)

“Five extraordinary individuals were selected to receive the 2010 Congressional Veteran Commendation,” said Rep. Burgess. “They served in the Armed Forces of the United States with distinction and continued their dedication to the nation by striving tirelessly on behalf of their fellow veterans and serving the people in their communities.

“While we have singled out these veterans for recognition today, I want to extend my deepest appreciation to all veterans for your service to the United States of America,” Rep. Burgess remarked to the approximate 250 luncheon attendees. “On behalf of the citizens of the 26th District and of a grateful nation, we are forever in your debt.”
