Today, I want to briefly review the career of Adm. Dave Jeremiah and pay tribute to his distinguished service to his country. Admiral Jeremiah was born on February 25, 1934, and is a native of Portland, OR. He graduated from the University of Oregon in 1955 and received his commission through the Navy's Officer Candidate Program in 1956. He also received a Master of Science Degree in Financial Management from George Washington University in 1968 and graduated from the Armed Forces Staff College in 1971. Admiral Jeremiah had extensive sea duty, including service on seven Pacific Fleet destroyers. While serving as commander, Cruiser-Destroyer Group Eight, from August 1984 until April 1986, Admiral Jeremiah directed the location and forced landing of the Egyptian airliner carrying the hijackers from the Achille Lauro. He was the battle force commander during freedom of navigation operations in the Gulf of Sidra and directed actions resulting in the sinking of two Libyan warships and the destruction of an anti-air missile site.
