                    TRIBUTE TO JEREMY WAYNE HARRELL

 Mr. PAUL. Mr. President, today I recognize the tremendous 
dedication of Jeremy Wayne Harrell, of Louisville, KY, the founder of 
an all-volunteer organization called the Veterans Club. Already 
nationally celebrated for its Equine Therapy Program and for efforts to 
create a recovery center for homeless veterans, this unique Kentucky 
nonprofit has made veteran isolation its singular focus during the 
coronavirus pandemic. A veteran himself, Mr. Harrell recognizes that 
social isolation created by the pandemic can amplify the sense of 
loneliness already experienced by many veterans as they transition into 
civilian life following multiple deployments. Mr. Harrell was recently 
honored by Metro Louisville government with its Distinguished Veteran 
and Citizen Award and by Humana as the winner of its Boots on the 
Ground Campaign Award. I am proud to represent veterans like Jeremy 
Harrell in the U.S. Senate and in particular to recognize him today for 
his steadfast commitment to our veterans and their families. The great 
work of the Veterans Club is an inspiration to us all to find and 
connect with those in our communities who struggle with a sense of 
isolation.
