  Mr. HIGGINS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the exemplary service 
and achievement of Private First Class Jon Brumbaugh, a former resident 
of the Chautauqua County City of Jamestown, upon receiving the Army 
Achievement Medal.
  Brumbaugh, a graduate of Jamestown High School was awarded this honor 
for meritorious achievement while serving as a Heavy Armor Specialist 
during JRTC Rotation 05-05. His leadership and ability to accomplish 
missions made PFC Brumbaugh a vital part of his infantry division.
  PFC Brumbaugh began his time in the Army in October of 2003. Due to 
several outstanding characteristics, he became known as a team leader 
and gained multiple comments from officers, thus allowing him to move 
up the chain of command. In February of 2004 Jon went to Airborne 
School, where he received his Wings upon graduation.
  Currently, Jon is assigned to the 4th Infantry Division, known as the 
4th ID, B Company 2-8 INS. Part of Jon's duties involve being assigned 
to a Bradley Fighting Vehicle where he is second in command of his 
section. Jon is stationed at Fort Hood where he resides with his wife 
and their two sons.
