                      Wednesday, December 7, 2022

  Mrs. CAMMACK. Madam Speaker, on behalf of Florida's Third 
Congressional District, I honor the life of Colonel James F. Dougherty 
Jr., USAF, Retired. He died at the Lake City VA Medical Center on June 
16, 2022 at the age of 80.
  Remembered as a loving husband, father, and grandfather, Colonel 
Dougherty was a pilot in the Air Force before moving into financial 
management. The unprecedented projects he tackled in the Air Force and 
the Department of Defense were a credit to his willingness to do the 
impossible in financial management and in support of military pay 
improvements for our troops stationed around the world. Colonel 
Dougherty served in Vietnam and in support of Operation Desert Shield/
Storm.
  I extend my deepest condolences to Colonel Dougherty's family and 
friends and celebrate his life well lived. Our nation is grateful for 
his service and sacrifice to the Stars and Stripes.
