               CONGRATULATING FIRST SERGEANT IAN McCLURE

  (Ms. CHENEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. CHENEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate First Sergeant 
Ian McClure, U.S. Army, for being named the 2018 Allied Command 
Operations Military Member of the Year.
  A 2003 graduate of East High School in Cheyenne, Wyoming, First 
Sergeant McClure went on to serve in the Army Special Forces in 
Afghanistan, Iraq, and Mali, and he is now stationed at NATO Special 
Operations headquarters in Belgium.
  First Sergeant McClure was selected for this award because of his 
superior performance and professional excellence. I am proud that 
General Scaparrotti recognized First Sergeant McClure's significant 
contributions to the success of alliance operations.
  Sergeant McClure exemplifies the best that Wyoming and our country 
has to offer, and I thank him for his service and his sacrifices for 
our freedom.
  Again, Mr. Speaker, I am proud to congratulate First Sergeant Ian 
McClure on this prestigious honor and for being a brilliant example for 
the entire State of Wyoming.
