  Mr. WEBSTER. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to express my sincere 
appreciation for Staff Sgt. Jeffrey Kelly's service to his country.
   After joining the U.S. Army Reserves in 2000 and transferring to the 
Regular Army in 2006, Sgt. Kelly served three tours in Iraq. In 2008, 
during his last tour, Sgt. Kelly was seriously injured when his convoy 
came under rocket-propelled grenade and mortar fire. Despite his 
injuries, Sgt. Kelly completed his assigned mission.
   Sgt. Kelly is a native of Central Florida and graduated from 
Westside Vo Tech in Winter Garden. Sgt. Kelly now lives in Clermont 
with his wife, Michelle, and two young children, Jade and Lindsey.
   On behalf of the people of Central Florida, I am pleased to express 
our gratitude and to praise Sgt. Kelly for his courage and dedication 
to his country. His commitment to his country and his selfless service 
is an inspiration to us all.
