  Mr. BARR. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor the life of a patriotic 
American, Johnnie Lee Patrick II. Mr. Patrick lived in Estill County, 
Kentucky and passed away on January 10, 2022, at the age of 46.
  Mr. Patrick served our nation proudly in the Kentucky National Guard 
for more than twenty years. Following the terrorist attacks on our 
nation on September 11, 2001, Mr. Patrick joined the 149th Infantry 
``Charlie Company'' in Ravenna. He was attached to posts in Louisville, 
Burlington, Richmond, and Jackson. He was deployed for two tours in the 
Middle East.
  Mr. Patrick attained the rank of Sgt. 1st Class and was a member of 
the 207th Engineer Company in Jackson, Kentucky. While on active duty 
with the Southwest Border Mission in El Paso, Texas, he passed away on 
January 10, 2022. He was laid to rest with full military honors.
  Mr. Patrick is survived by his wife, Jackie Lynn Bowling Patrick, his 
sons Alexander Matthew Patrick and Ryan Alan Patrick, and a large, 
loving, extended family.
  Sgt. 1st Class Johnnie Lee Patrick II was a true patriot and a great 
American. His service and sacrifice are greatly appreciated and must 
never be forgotten. It is my honor to lift up the life of Johnnie Lee 
Patrick II.
