On the recordMarch 21, 2024
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. ____________________
