                         Tuesday, May 21, 2013

  Mr. JONES. Mr. Speaker, throughout the journey of life, we meet many 
people. Some of these people you will know for a lifetime, and some you 
will only know for a brief period. I have had the pleasure of knowing 
Colonel Jason Bohm, USMC, for a brief, but meaningful time.
  Col. Bohm has served as the director of the Marine Corps liaison 
office for the U.S. House of Representatives for the past two years. 
Having the privilege to represent the Marines of Camp Lejeune and 
Cherry Point MCAS, I have worked with Col. Bohm on numerous occasions.
  He has served as a knowledgeable advisor to me and my staff on 
various issues concerning active-duty Marines, veterans and military 
families. We have all found Col. Jason Bohm to be a man of integrity, 
sincerity, and a true friend to the Corps.
  He has assisted me greatly with an issue that I have worked on for 
over 11 years, and I want to thank him for his interest and his 
tremendous efforts to help me in my mission of clearing the names of 
two pilots. For his assistance, I will always be grateful.
  As a man of faith, I appreciate Col. Bohm's commitment to his faith 
and his family. His wife, Sonja, has offered unwavering support, along 
with their children Ashley, Ethan and Emily. I wish them all the best 
on their new journey to Camp Pendleton, California.
  May God continue to bless the Bohm family, our men and women in 
uniform, and the United States of America.
