                        Friday, October 3, 2025

  Mr. HARIDOPOLOS. Mr. Speaker, today I recognize the life and legacy 
of John J. Meyers, III, a decorated veteran of the United States Navy 
who passed away on September 14, 2025, at the age of 87 in Sarasota, 
Florida.
  John answered the call to serve his country as a naval aviator. He 
trained in Pensacola, flew with Squadron VS-34 aboard the USS Essex, 
and later served as an instructor pilot at NAS Meridian. His skill and 
leadership reflected the very best of our Nation's military tradition.
  After his service, John carried those same values into civilian life. 
He built a respected career in aviation and financial services, 
retiring as a financial advisor at Merrill Lynch in Sarasota. But 
beyond his profession, he was known for his mentorship and kindness.
  John J. Meyers lived a life of honor, both in uniform and in his 
community. Today, we remember him not only for his service to our 
Nation but for the positive impact he left on those around him. May his 
memory be a blessing, and may his family find comfort in knowing his 
legacy of service will endure.
