              TRIBUTE TO LIEUTENANT COLONEL JEREMY TILLMAN

  Mr. INHOFE. Mr. President, I am proud to honor a superb leader, 
legislative liaison, and soldier for his tireless commitment to the 
U.S. Army which include 2 years of service with the U.S. Army Office of 
the Legislative Liaison. During 2020, LTC Jeremy Tillman served in the 
Washington, DC, office of the Second Congressional District of South 
Carolina and went on to serve as a U.S. Army legislative liaison in the 
Senate. As Lieutenant Colonel Tillman prepares to take command of the 
3rd Battalion, 13th Field Artillery Regiment at Fort Sill, OK, I 
believe it is especially fitting to recognize his dedication to 
fostering the relationship between the U.S. Army and Congress.
  Lieutenant Colonel Tillman proved invaluable in educating Members and 
staff on Army combat systems, modernization programs, and policy 
initiatives. He provided exceptional support for multiple congressional 
delegations' official travel to locations within the United States and 
to various countries around the world.
  Lieutenant Colonel Tillman has served our Army and our Nation for 
more than 17 years. During this time, Lieutenant Colonel Tillman served 
at Fort Bragg, NC; Fort Knox, KY; Maxwell Air Force Base, AL; and Fort 
Sill, OK. He was deployed to Iraq and a rotational deployment to the 
Republic of Korea. During his Iraq deployment, Lieutenant Colonel 
Tillman was wounded on a combat patrol by an improvised explosive 
device. He demonstrated his dedication and tireless commitment as he 
recovered from his injuries and was medically cleared for full Active-
Duty status. As Lieutenant Colonel Tillman returns to Fort Sill, OK, he 
will lead our Nation's young men and women in uniform, both at home and 
abroad.
  On behalf of Congress and the United States of America, I thank 
Lieutenant Colonel Tillman, his wife Cassie, and their three daughters 
Emma, Lily, and Anne for their continued commitment, sacrifice, and 
contributions to our great Nation. I wish Lieutenant Colonel Tillman 
future successes as he continues to serve our great Army and Nation.
