                    RECOGNIZING MAJOR JARED L. PERRY

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Jared L. Perry, a major in 
the United States Marine Corps, an exemplary North Carolinian, and a 
proud native of Ashe County.
  On April 5, Major Perry will officially retire after 16 years of 
service to our Nation, a record of service that is admirable and 
respected.
  His service to our Nation has led him to travel to Central and South 
America on the USS Iwo Jima, to Afghanistan, where he served two combat 
tours, as well as to the Indo-Pacific. No matter where he has traveled 
to in service to our Nation, one thing has remained the same: his 
commitment to advancing and safeguarding the values and freedom that 
make America the greatest country in the world.
  I congratulate Major Perry on his well-earned retirement. The entire 
Nation thanks him for his service and sacrifice, and we are forever 
grateful.
