  Mrs. McCLAIN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 2022 St. 
Clair County Veteran of the Year, Kevin L. Jones of the Marine Corps 
League, Belcher-Lane-Williams Detachment 146.
  Kevin enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps in 1974 and was commissioned 
a Second Lieutenant infantry officer in 1978. He served in many roles 
as a commanding officer and has been deployed around the world.
  After his distinguished military career, Kevin dedicated his life to 
serving the veterans in his community. He has been instrumental in 
establishing and forming a General Motors salaried veterans' group and 
was recognized by USA Today for his role in hiring veterans. Kevin is a 
member of several veteran advocacy organizations and has been vital in 
promoting the health and advancement of fellow veterans in his 
community. He is the Vice Chairman of the Saint Clair County Veterans 
Affairs Board of Commissioners. He also holds several leadership roles 
within his detachment of the Marine Corps League. Additionally, he is a 
member of the American Legion and AMVETS.
  I congratulate and thank Kevin for his selfless dedication to our 
veterans and community. It is vital that we continue to support and 
honor those who have risked their lives and given so much to our 
country. I applaud and recognize Kevin Jones for all he has done for 
our country and his fellow veterans.
