  RECOGNIZING BO WHITE FOR HIS EXCEPTIONAL MILITARY CAREER AND GLOBAL 
                          HUMANITARIAN EFFORTS

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JACK BERGMAN

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                          Tuesday, May 2, 2023

  Mr. BERGMAN. Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to recognize Bo White for 
his distinguished military and special operations career, as well as 
his unwavering commitment to helping those in need across the globe. 
Throughout his life, Bo has continually put the interests of others 
over his own, risking his personal safety and well-being to do so. He 
deserves our utmost respect and gratitude for all he has done to 
protect our national security and the most vulnerable in society.
  Following his graduation from Traverse City Christian School, Bo 
became a pararescueman for the United States Air Force, joining an 
elite company in one of our Nation's most prestigious and respected 
special forces groups. When the war in Ukraine began in February of 
2022, Bo played an integral part in the safe extraction of FOX News' 
Benjamin Hall and personally led ventures into afflicted areas to 
facilitate evacuation and relief efforts.
  Bo's sacrificial actions throughout his military career warrant the 
highest praise and national recognition. He has proven on many 
occasions that he will risk his life for a stranger without seeking 
acknowledgement or thanks. That extent of humility and valor has made 
Bo one of Michigan's most prized citizens. We owe him our utmost 
respect and appreciation for what he has already accomplished 
throughout his storied life and for what he will achieve in the future.
  Mr. Speaker, again it is my honor to recognize Bo White for his 
exceptional service to our country, his determination to help others, 
and his extraordinary impact on the lives of those in conflict zones in 
Eastern Europe. On behalf of Michigan's First District, I extend my 
gratitude to Bo and his family and wish them the best in their future 
endeavors.
