  Mr. MOSKOWITZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and 
service of a local hero, Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue Battalion Chief 
Terryson Jackson, who sadly passed away on August 28, 2023, in the line 
of duty.
  Battalion Chief Jackson proudly served the people of Broward County 
for 19 years. He began his fire rescue career in March 2004 in 
Deerfield Beach and joined the Broward Sheriffs Office (BSO) in October 
2011. Chief Jackson joined the Air Rescue 85 team as a flight

medic in July 2013, and on February 24, 2016, he was promoted to 
Captain. Broward County has acted to posthumously promote Chief Jackson 
from the rank of Captain to the rank of Battalion Chief.
  As a flight paramedic, he impacted the community daily, providing 
critical patients with the highest prehospital care. He consistently 
showed an unmatched passion for the job. He always provided expert 
care, compassion, and reassurance to those during their most 
significant time of need. He is survived by his parents, son, daughter, 
and siblings.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in remembering the life and service of 
Chief Terryson Jackson. May his memory bless his family, friends, and 
the Broward County community to whom he dedicated his life in service.
