in the house of representatives
Mr. BILIRAKIS. Mr, Speaker, I rise today to recognize one of our outstanding community members, Mr. Ryder Gaston, whose tireless dedication has brought vital holistic health care services to veterans, military personnel, first responders, and law enforcement through Cryoeeze 22.
Mr. Gaston and his family—his wife, Mrs. Tami Gaston, his sons Remington and River Gaston, and his daughter-in-law Chealsey Gaston— have provided thousands of free services aimed at supporting physical recovery, mental health, and overall wellness. Their work focuses on addressing traumatic brain injuries, reducing veteran suicide rates, and assisting with an array of other physical and mental health challenges. Through their efforts, countless individuals in our community have received healing, hope, and care they might not otherwise have had access to. Ryder Gaston exemplifies selflessness, determination, and a profound commitment to helping others. His facility, Cryoeeze 22, provides a safe and supportive environment where veterans and other community members can pursue recovery and wellness without cost or barrier. He is constantly seeking new ways to serve those in need, demonstrating the highest ideals of compassion, service, and leadership.
impact he has made on the lives of veterans, first responders, and our community at large, I am proud to recognize Mr. Ryder Gaston as a 2026 Hero Among Us. I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring his extraordinary commitment and the lasting difference he continues to make.
