HONORING THE SERVICE OF JASON JERRODD HALEY, SR.

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 104 (Monday, June 22, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 104 (Monday, June 22, 2026)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E595] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING THE SERVICE OF JASON JERRODD HALEY, SR. ______ HON. MARILYN STRICKLAND of washington in the house of representatives Monday, June 22, 2026 Ms. STRICKLAND. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a distinguished veteran from Washington's 10th Congressional District, Mr. Jason Jerrodd Haley, Sr. Mr. Haley served with distinction in the United States Navy for over eleven years. His service was highlighted by an extraordinary, continuous assignment to the USS Nimitz (CVN 68). From March 18, 1993, to June 1, 2001, Mr. Haley remained assigned to the Nimitz for a consecutive 8 years and 3 months. During this extensive period, he served as an AO2/E5 AW (Aviation Ordinance-man Second Class/Aviation Warfare Specialist) within the Weapons Department. Maintaining weapons readiness on a nuclear aircraft carrier requires immense technical expertise, precision, and unwavering focus. Mr. Haley was a cornerstone of the ship's crew during a pivotal era, keeping the vessel's combat systems sharp through multiple high- tempo deployments and the grueling Refueling and Complex Overhaul (RCOH) process. A resident of Puyallup, Washington, Jason Jerrodd Haley, Sr. represents the absolute highest traditions of the naval service: resilience, consistency, and a deep-seated ``Old Salt'' dedication to a single command. Spending over 3,000 consecutive days assigned to the Nimitz is a profound testament to the sacrifice, endurance, and steadfastness of our nation's sailors. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Mr. Haley's remarkable service record and ensuring his dedication is permanently preserved. ____________________
