                        RECOGNIZING JONATHAN FAY

  (Mr. WILLIAMS of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. WILLIAMS of Texas. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Commander Jon Fay's tremendous career serving his country and 
commemorate his retirement from the U.S. Navy. For 24 years, Jon has 
dedicated his life to serving our great Nation and keeping it a great 
Nation.
  From ensign to executive officer, Jon has worked his way through the 
ranks. Today, he is highly decorated and holds various personal, unit, 
and service awards.
  In September of 2021, he joined the Blue Angels and has accumulated 
an impressive 2,900 flight hours and 168 carrier arrested landings.
  Jon is a humble leader and true patriot fueled by love for his family 
and love for his country.
  Jon's wife, Amy, and children have played a crucial role in his 
service. We must also honor the unwavering support and countless 
sacrifices they have made over the years.
  On behalf of a grateful Nation and this Congress, I thank Jon Fay and 
his family for their selfless service to ensuring our freedoms for 
generations to come.
  His life is one to be copied. As Jon would say: Go Navy. Beat Army. 
In God we trust.
