SECTION 1. FINDINGS.

Congress finds the following:
(1) Staff Sergeant Sky Mote, USMC, grew up in El Dorado,
California.
(2) Staff Sergeant Mote graduated from Union Mine High
School.
(3) Upon graduation, Staff Sergeant Mote promptly enlisted
in the Marine Corps.
(4) Staff Sergeant Mote spent 9 years serving his country in
the United States Marine Corps, including a deployment to Iraq
and two deployments to Afghanistan.
(5) By his decisive actions, heroic initiative, and resolute
dedication to duty, Staff Sergeant Mote gave his life to protect
fellow Marines on August 10, 2012, by gallantly rushing into
action during an attack by a rogue Afghan policeman inside the
base perimeter in Helmand province.
(6) Staff Sergeant Mote was awarded the Navy Cross, a Purple
Heart, the Navy-Marine Corps Commendation Medal, a Navy-Marine
Corps Achievement Medal, two Combat Action Ribbons and three
Good Conduct Medals.
(7) The Congress of the United States, in acknowledgment of
this debt that cannot be repaid, honors Staff Sergeant Mote for
his ultimate sacrifice and recognizes his service to his
country, faithfully executed to his last, full measure of
devotion.
(8) A presently unnamed peak in the center of Humphrey Basin
holds special meaning to the friends and family of Sky Mote, as
their annual hunting trips set up camp beneath this point; under
the stars, the memories made beneath this rounded peak will be
cherished forever.
