                        Wednesday, May 28, 2014

  Mr. MORAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor one of our Nation's 
wounded warriors, Retired Lieutenant Colonel Jerome E. Kelly, of 
Alexandria, Virginia. A 1965 graduate of West Point Military Academy, 
Lieutenant Colonel Kelly was awarded the Bronze Star for Valor and a 
Purple Heart for his service in Vietnam, where he suffered a severe 
head wound in combat.
  After a long recovery during which he was nursed back to health by 
his loving wife Lee, he attended Washington & Lee School of Law and was 
admitted to the District of Columbia Bar. After graduation Lieutenant 
Colonel Kelly completed his active duty career in the United States 
Army as a member of the Judge Advocate General Corp, with tours of duty 
in Virginia and with U.S. forces in Seoul, South Korea. After retiring 
from active duty in 1986, Lieutenant Colonel Kelly continued his 
service to the Nation as a civilian employee to the Army at Ft. 
Belvoir, Virginia.
  Mr. Speaker, Colonel Kelly has recently taken ill and I would like to 
wish him a speedy recovery. I would also like to extend my appreciation 
to his wife Lee for her sacrifices throughout the years. I ask that my 
colleagues join me in recognizing Lieutenant Colonel Jerome E. Kelly 
for his many years of dedicated service to our Nation.
