     Badge through his dedication to the highest ideals of the 
     United States.
       (3) Lieutenant Jones chose from a young age to generously 
     volunteer his talents to his community, and was recognized 
     with academic, social, and athletic leadership positions 
     throughout his life.
       (4) Lieutenant Jones committed himself to excellence in all 
     aspects of his life, including earning a Bachelor of Science 
     degree, with honors, in civil and environmental engineering.
       (5) While earning his engineering degree at Worcester 
     Polytechnic Institute, Lieutenant Jones was awarded a Reserve 
     Officers' Training Corps scholarship.
       (6) Lieutenant Jones faithfully and expertly led his fellow 
     soldiers as a platoon leader in the Army's First Infantry 
     Division while deployed to Iraq in 2007.
       (7) Lieutenant Jones made the ultimate sacrifice for the 
     United States on May 2, 2007, when he was killed in action by 
     an improvised explosive device set by the enemy.
       (8) Lieutenant Jones' life of service, courage, and honor 
     was made possible by his dedicated parents, Mr. Kevin Jones 
     and Mrs. Elaine Jones, who reside in Westminster,

       (10) Before entering combat, Lieutenant Jones made 
     arrangements to ensure that his life insurance policy 
     proceeds would become a scholarship fund to benefit others, a 
     request that Mr. and Mrs. Jones fulfilled.
       (11) Lieutenant Jones is remembered by his family, his 
     friends, and the people of the United States as a role model 
     for his fellow citizens to emulate.
