 HONORING AND REMEMBERING THE LIFE OF JAMES E. JACOBS OF HILLSBOROUGH, 
                               NEW JERSEY

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. LEONARD LANCE

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 21, 2012

  Mr. LANCE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and remember the life 
of James E. Jacobs of Hillsborough, New Jersey. James was a loving 
husband, father, son, brother, uncle, soldier and friend. Born and 
raised in Verona, New Jersey, he graduated from Montclair State 
University and later served in the United States Army. He bravely 
served his country in Vietnam and was awarded the Bronze Star for his 
commendable service. Jim was honorably discharged as a Specialist.
  Jim lived by the Latin phrase: ``amor vincit omnia'' or ``love 
conquers all.'' This could not be truer for Jim and the love of his 
life, Kathleen Geiger, whom he married in 1990. Throughout their twenty 
two year marriage, nothing brought Jim more happiness than talking 
about their two greatest accomplishments, their children, Daniel and 
Katherine. This family will remember him for his everlasting love, 
support and encouragement.
  Jim was a devout New York Giants fan, an expert solver of crossword 
puzzles, a self-taught guitarist and an aspiring poet. Among his fellow 
soldiers, friends and family, he was known for standing up for those 
less fortunate than he.
  I join the Jacobs family and friends in remembering Jim for his 
public service to our Nation and his service to others.
