SECTION 1. FINDINGS.
    Congress finds the following:
        (1) Staff Sergeant Sky Mote, USMC, grew up in El Dorado, 
    California.
        (2) Staff Sergeant Mote graduated from Union Mine High School.
        (3) Upon graduation, Staff Sergeant Mote promptly enlisted in 
    the Marine Corps.
        (4) Staff Sergeant Mote spent 9 years serving his country in 
    the United States Marine Corps, including a deployment to Iraq and 
    two deployments to Afghanistan.
        (5) By his decisive actions, heroic initiative, and resolute 
    dedication to duty, Staff Sergeant Mote gave his life to protect 
    fellow Marines on August 10, 2012, by gallantly rushing into action 
    during an attack by a rogue Afghan policeman inside the base 
    perimeter in Helmand province.
        (6) Staff Sergeant Mote was awarded the Navy Cross, a Purple 
    Heart, the Navy-Marine Corps Commendation Medal, a Navy-Marine 
    Corps Achievement Medal, two Combat Action Ribbons and three Good 
    Conduct Medals.
        (7) The Congress of the United States, in acknowledgment of 
    this debt that cannot be repaid, honors Staff Sergeant Mote for his 
    ultimate sacrifice and recognizes his service to his country, 
    faithfully executed to his last, full measure of devotion.
        (8) A presently unnamed peak in the center of Humphrey Basin 
    holds special meaning to the friends and family of Sky Mote, as 
    their annual hunting trips set up camp beneath this point; under 
    the stars, the memories made beneath this rounded peak will be 
    cherished forever.
