                        TRIBUTE TO JADA McMILLAN

 Mr. SCHMITT. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize SrA Jada 
McMillan, an outstanding medic with the 509th Medical Group at Whiteman 
Air Force Base. After leaving work one day in July of 2025, Senior 
Airman McMillan witnessed a hit-and-run auto accident resulting in one 
of the vehicles becoming airborne. After quickly pulling over to check 
on the passengers alongside one of her coworkers, Jada drew upon her 
experience in the medical field to remain calm and help the injured 
passenger escape from the soon-burning vehicle, choosing to stay with 
the passenger until first responders could arrive. Thanks to her 
ability to remain calm and focused, the victim survived and was able to 
receive the necessary medical care.
  SrA Jada McMillan has truly proven herself a Champion of Missouri, 
both in her dedicated service to our Nation in the U.S. Air Force and 
for her decisive action last July. Her outstanding devotion to 
protecting others is truly remarkable, and she has more than shown that 
she embodies the spirit of service that makes our Nation truly special. 
I am proud to represent such an outstanding individual in the U.S. 
Senate and wish her all the best as she continues serving in our Armed 
Forces.
