                        REMEMBERING JEREMY JONES

 Mr. TESTER. Mr. President, today I would like to honor the 
life and service of a distinguished Montanan and U.S. Army Special 
Forces veteran: the late Jeremy Jones.
  A native son of Montana, Jeremy was born and raised in Whitefish, MT. 
He was an American hero who spent the majority of his adult life 
risking his life to serve this country. As a troop sergeant major with 
1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta, Jeremy served in more 
than a dozen combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan over the course of an 
almost 30-year career in the Army and Joint Special Operations Command. 
He received numerous combat medals and citations for his extraordinary 
service and sacrifice in that time, including three Bronze Stars.
  After retiring honorably from the Army, Jeremy transitioned to 
civilian life in North Carolina where he gave back to his community, 
had good friends, and was an avid fisherman and golfer. He was a 
critical member of the Knowmadics team, where he worked on programs to 
protect warfighters and train the next generation of cyber 
professionals. Most importantly, he was a loving father to his children 
Bobby and Jess.
  On May 14, 2023, Jeremy passed away at the age of 44. Today, it is my 
honor to commemorate his service and legacy. We owe Jeremy a debt of 
gratitude that can never be fully repaid. Raising the flag over the 
U.S. Capitol in his honor is just a small token of our deep 
appreciation for his service and valor.
  On behalf of myself and a grateful nation, I commend Mr. Jeremy Jones 
and extend our deepest appreciation to him and his family. His legacy 
will continue to be felt by warfighters for years to come, and he will 
be sorely missed.
