                      HONORING CAPTAIN JASON JONES

  (Mr. MEUSER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MEUSER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and legacy of 
Captain Jason Jones from Orwigsburg, Pennsylvania.
  Captain Jones graduated at the top of his class from the United 
States Military Academy at West Point. After graduating, he served as 
team leader for the U.S. Army's 1st Battalion, 3rd Group Special 
Forces.
  While deployed overseas, he was tragically killed in action on June 
2, 2014, in Afghanistan.
  Jason is survived by his wife, Dr. Amy Jones; parents, Jay and Suzy 
Jones; and sister and brother-in-law, Drs. Elizabeth and Alex Gambogi.
  I recently attended an event that raised funds to honor Jason's 
service and ultimate sacrifice. The fundraiser was attended by hundreds 
of family and friends. The event raises money for scholarships, 
benefiting those in the community who are interested in following 
Jason's patriotic pursuit of military service.
  Mr. Speaker, let us never forget and always support those, like 
Captain Jason Jones, who made the ultimate sacrifice to safeguard our 
freedoms.
  Jason is so lovingly remembered by his family and his community. He 
has left behind a great legacy and a proud and grateful community and 
country.
