RECOGNIZING MAJOR JARED L. PERRY
(Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Jared L. Perry, a major in
the United States Marine Corps, an exemplary North Carolinian, and a
proud native of Ashe County.
On April 5, Major Perry will officially retire after 16 years of
service to our Nation, a record of service that is admirable and
respected.
His service to our Nation has led him to travel to Central and South
America on the USS Iwo Jima, to Afghanistan, where he served two combat
tours, as well as to the Indo-Pacific. No matter where he has traveled
to in service to our Nation, one thing has remained the same: his
commitment to advancing and safeguarding the values and freedom that
make America the greatest country in the world.
I congratulate Major Perry on his well-earned retirement. The entire
Nation thanks him for his service and sacrifice, and we are forever
grateful.
