  Mr. KELLY of Mississippi. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate 
the life of Jason Terrell, who passed away on Tuesday, June 9, after a 
long battle with cancer.
  Jason was born on July 10, 1974, in Indianola, Mississippi. Shortly 
after graduating high school, Jason joined the United States Marine 
Corps and fought our nations enemies during Operation Restore Hope 
Somalia. He went on to obtain the rank of Corporal, and later joined 
the Mississippi Highway Patrol. Jason not only patrolled Mississippi 
highways, but also served as an expert marksman for the Mississippi 
Highway Patrol SWAT team. When Sargent First Class Terrell was not 
patrolling Mississippi highways, he was hunting, fishing, or 
worshipping at First Baptist Church of Vardaman.
  Left to cherish his memory is his wife, Tara Winter Terrell; 
daughter, Maddie Terrell; mother, Beverly Charlotte Mitchell; step-
father,
