                      Thursday, September 7, 2006

  Ms. GINNY BROWN-WAITE of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor 
Jeremy Reis, a Private in the Marine Corps.
  Private Reis attended Lovejoy High School in Jonesboro, Georgia, 
transferring his senior year to Newton County High, graduating earlier 
this year in May. His original post-graduate plans were to study art 
and photography, but following the events of September 11, Private Reis 
felt the call to duty and enlisted in the Marine Corps. When his tour 
of duty is complete he hopes to attend art school and fulfill his 
dream.
  Entering basic training in August 2006 at Parris Island, South 
Carolina, Private Reis is training to be a computer programming 
specialist.
  Raised as part of a close-knit family, Private Reis is a member of 
his Church Youth group and enjoys hunting with his father and brothers. 
He also enjoys visiting his grandparents at their home in Citrus 
County, Florida. Private Reis has five dogs, including a pug named Mojo 
and a boxer named Jordan.
  Mr. Speaker, it is soldiers like Jeremy Reis who volunteer to protect 
the freedoms that all Americans hold dear to their hearts. He is to be 
commended for his service to our Nation and for his commitment to his 
family and loved ones.
