Twenty-five veterans have received Congressional Veteran Commendations in a ceremony hosted by U.S. Rep. Keith Self.

“Celebrating these men and women is a powerful tribute to their service and a reminder of their vital role in protecting the freedoms we cherish as Americans,” Self said in announcing the honorees from the 3rd Congressional District.

Among those recognized in the Monday, Nov. 11, ceremony at Collin College in McKinney were U.S. Army Sgt. Gary “Mack” Hurst of Farmersville and Navy Lt. David Clark Island of Princeton.
