HONORING THE LIFE OF DR. KENNETH JOHN BROWN

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 49 (Wednesday, March 18, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 49 (Wednesday, March 18, 2026)] [House] [Page H2560] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING THE LIFE OF DR. KENNETH JOHN BROWN (Mr. KENNEDY of Utah asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. KENNEDY of Utah. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Dr. Kenneth John Brown, a marine, teacher, husband, and man of deep faith who recently passed away at 102 years old. Ken Brown was just 20 when he landed on Iwo Jima, where he proudly served his country. He came home, started a family, earned his doctorate, and spent his career teaching our youth in the classroom. He was, by every account, a man who showed up for his country, for his church, for his students, and for his family for over a century. Mr. Speaker, lives like Ken Brown's are worth pausing to recognize. He is a reminder that one person committed to the right things can leave this world better than he found it. May his example inspire all of us to do the same. ____________________
