                CONGRATULATING CAPTAIN JONATHAN TURNBULL

  (Mr. BERGMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BERGMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Captain 
Jonathan Turnbull on his promotion to major in the United States Army.
  Captain Turnbull of Gaylord, Michigan, was deployed in Syria where he 
worked with local forces and nongovernmental organizations to stabilize 
the area and provide humanitarian assistance.
  On January 16, 2019, an ISIS suicide bomber forever changed the 
course of his life and the life of his brothers. Four Americans were 
killed on that day, and Jonathan received life-threatening injuries. 
His courage and bravery on that day and each day since has inspired 
countless Americans as he recovered and continued his service.
  Jonathan is the epitome of an American patriot and embodies the 
fighting spirit of our Nation's Armed Forces. He has fought for his 
life and his country and has truly earned this promotion to major.
  I speak for the entire First District when I say how proud we are of 
Jonathan, his service, and his commitment.
  I wish him, Samantha, Ian, and baby Scotty all the best in the many 
years to come.
