                      Wednesday, November 20, 2019

  Mr. GIANFORTE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Jodie Penrod 
Jolly of Dillon for Montana Congressional Veteran Commendation for her 
service to her country and her support of fellow veterans in her 
community.
   Ms. Jolly is a veteran of the United States Air Force where she 
served as a nurse for over thirty years. She has received multiple 
commendations over her time in the Air Force including the USAF 
National Defense Medal and the Saudi-Kuwait Liberation Medal.
   Ms. Jolly had one goal when she came to Dillon: to support and help 
veterans in the community. She started the Beaverhead Chapter of 
Joining Community Forces and hosts an annual dinner to honor veterans, 
active duty personnel, and their family in the community. Ms. Jolly is 
known to be a go-to person in the community for veterans seeking 
assistance, connecting them with Veteran service providers. She is also 
active with the VFW Bill Carroll Post 9040, serving as Senior Vice-
Commander.
   I ask my colleagues to join me today in commending Jodie Penrod 
Jolly for her dedication to and support of veterans in her community.
