  Mr. MILLER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, it is with profound sadness and 
deep sympathy that I pay tribute to the life and dedicated service of 
Senior Airman Timothy J. ``Tim'' Wright, of Pensacola, Florida. Tim 
passed away on July 17, 2014 as a result of injuries sustained during a 
military readiness exercise at Pope Army Airfield, Fort Bragg, North 
Carolina.
  Senior Airman Wright, who graduated from the Pensacola Christian 
Academy in 2003, joined the Air Force in 2009. As a medic, he was first 
stationed at Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield, California, where he 
was awarded two medals for Meritorious Service and Outstanding 
Achievement. He deployed twice to Afghanistan and earned the Air Force 
Achievement Medal for his service with the 651st Expeditionary 
Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron in Kandahar and the Air Force 
Achievement Medal for Outstanding Achievement for his service with the 
455th Expeditionary Medical Operations Squadron at

Bagram Airfield. During his deployments, he showed interest in becoming 
an aeromedical evacuation technician, and after successfully completing 
his training, Senior Airman Wright was transferred to Pope Airfield 
where he joined the 43rd Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron in May 2014.
  Throughout his career, Senior Airman Wright displayed an unyielding 
commitment to protect and defend this great country and to care for his 
fellow warriors. To his parents, David and Sylvia; brothers, Aaron and 
Mathew; and to all of his family and friends, we owe our eternal 
gratitude. Tim touched the lives of many and displayed dedication to 
duty and courage of heart. He will always be remembered for his 
selfless service to this great Nation, and his life will continue to 
inspire those who knew him best and those who follow in his footsteps.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of a grateful United States Congress, I am 
privileged to honor the life of Senior Airman Timothy J. Wright. My 
wife, Vicki, joins me in offering our most sincere condolences and 
prayers to his family and friends. May God continue to bless them and 
the brave men and women of our United States Armed Forces.
