   SENATE RESOLUTION 357--HONORING MISSOURIANS WHO MADE THE ULTIMATE 
                        SACRIFICE IN AFGHANISTAN

  Mr. HAWLEY (for himself and Mr. Blunt) submitted the following 
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Armed Services:

                              S. Res. 357

       Whereas Marine Corps Lance Corporal Jared Schmitz of 
     Wentzville, Missouri, was a dear and loving son, brother, and 
     friend, who sought constantly to lift those around him and 
     care for others in need;
       Whereas Lance Corporal Schmitz was a devoted patriot who 
     knew that he wanted to serve in the Marine Corps by his 
     sophomore year of high school and trained relentlessly on his 
     own initiative so that he might one day wear the Eagle, 
     Globe, and Anchor;
       Whereas Lance Corporal Schmitz enlisted in the Marine Corps 
     before his 18th birthday and went on to serve with gallantry 
     as a Marine Corps infantryman, upholding the standards and 
     traditions of all the brave service members from the State of 
     Missouri who came before him;
       Whereas Lance Corporal Schmitz went to Kabul, Afghanistan, 
     in August 2021 and, despite the risks, demonstrated heroic 
     commitment to supporting the evacuation of citizens of the 
     United States, allies of the United States, partners of the 
     United States, and innocent civilians;
       Whereas, on August 26, 2021, at just 20 years of age, while 
     serving alongside his fellow citizens to provide safe passage 
     to those in need, Lance Corporal Schmitz made the ultimate 
     sacrifice at the international airport in Kabul, giving his 
     life so that others might live; and
       Whereas Lance Corporal Schmitz was the last of the 56 
     Missourians who made the ultimate sacrifice as part of 
     Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Freedom's Sentinel 
     and whose names shall not be forgotten, including--
