Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of S. 3826, which names a post office in Canyon, Texas, for Gary James Fletcher.

Mr. Fletcher was born in nearby Amarillo, Texas, and grew up in Canyon, Texas. He joined the United States Army as a specialist E5 and was a decorated Vietnam war veteran, having been awarded the National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Service Medal, and the Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal.

Upon his return to Canyon, Texas, he attended West Texas State University and graduated with a Bachelor of Business Administration and Finance. He put his degree to work as a successful banker and rancher. He also devoted countless hours to volunteering, including with the United Way and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Most importantly, he was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend.
