TRIBUTE TO STEVE AND GAYLE MASON

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 73 (Monday, April 27, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 73 (Monday, April 27, 2026)] [Senate] [Page S2048] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS ______ TRIBUTE TO STEVE AND GAYLE MASON Mr. DAINES. Mr. President, today I have the honor to recognize Steve and Gayle Mason as Montanans of the Month. Steve and Gayle Mason are residents of Somers, MT. Steve is a U.S. military veteran, and his dedication to country and community has continued long after the end of his military service. Northwest Montana is home to a large, active veteran community, and nearly 6,000 veterans live in Kalispell alone. The Masons have dedicated a tremendous amount of their time and resources to give back to veterans in need by gathering donations and distributing food, clothing, and medical supplies. It is my distinct honor to recognize Steve and Gayle Mason as Montanans of the Month. Their hard work, dedication to the veteran community, and their selfless service to Montanans will be remembered and inspire many. ____________________
