                        Monday, October 30, 2023

  Mr. BURCHETT. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Milton Jones, an East 
Tennessean who served our country in the U.S. Navy and worked on the 
Manhattan Project.
  Milton grew up with an interest in technology and how it works, which 
would serve him well throughout his career. After he graduated from 
Farragut High School in 1941, Jones earned a first class radio license 
from Madison College in Nashville. He then went on to train the Army 
Signal Corps until he was called back to Tennessee to help on the 
Manhattan Project.
  After the end of World War II, Milton started at WIVK radio as a 
chief engineer and proceeded to help set up new stations throughout the 
South. He retired in 1993, but continued to work as a consultant for 
different radio stations and helped tune their towers.
  Milton raised four children with his wife Anna Ruth Atkins, and 
turned 101 years old in March of 2023. He has served his country and 
his family well, and the East Tennessee community is thankful for the 
impact he has had on those who have been fortunate enough to know him.
