REMEMBERING STEVE HOLLEY

 Mr. SCHMITT. Mr. President, today I rise to recognize Steve
Holley, an outstanding Missourian who over the course of his life went
above and beyond to support the Show-Me-State's brave first responders.
One of the founding members of St. Louis Guns `N Hoses, where
firefighters and police officers square off in boxing, MMA, and other
athletic matches for charity, Steve served for many years as the
organization's executive director. A lifelong advocate for BackStoppers
and other first responder support networks, over the course of his
life, Steve helped raise millions of dollars to support the families of
fallen and injured officers.
  Steve was also a dedicated family man and was a proud husband,
father, and grandfather. I am also proud to have been able to call him
a personal friend. Although he tragically passed away this June, he
leaves behind a legacy of selfless service that few can match, and his
dedicated lifetime of work will continue to help countless families for
years to come. Steve was truly one of the Gateway City's greatest, and
he will be deeply missed. May God watch over his family in the coming
months.

                        TRIBUTE TO JACOB CROWLEY

 Mr. SCHMITT. Mr. President, today I want to honor Jacob
Crowley, a park ranger at Ozark National Scenic Riverways. On a
bitterly cold spring morning earlier this year, Jacob and his coworker
Daniel responded to a call where an individual suffered a medical
emergency in Missouri's Current River. Working closely with the
Missouri State Highway Patrol, Carter County Sheriff's Office, and West
Carter Ambulance District, these rangers braved near-freezing
temperatures and dense fog in the pre-dawn hours to search the
riverbank and waters for the person in crisis. Before long, these two
brave men were able to help find and rescue the woman in distress and
safely deliver her to emergency medical staff. Jacob's bold and
selfless efforts played a key role in saving her life.
  Park ranger Jacob Crowley is a shining example of what a public
servant should be, going above and beyond to protect our fellow
Americans. He exemplifies the very best of our Nation's first
responders and has more than proven himself to be a Champion of
Missouri. I deeply appreciate his lifesaving work and continued
dedication to our great State and to our great Republic. May God bless
Jacob and his family.

                       TRIBUTE TO DANIEL NEWBERRY

 Mr. SCHMITT. Mr. President, I rise today to honor Daniel
Newberry, who serves as a park ranger with Ozark National Scenic
Riverways. Earlier this spring, Daniel and his colleague Jacob were
dispatched in part of a joint operation between the National Park
Service, Carter County Sheriff's Office, Missouri State Highway Patrol,
and West Carter Ambulance District. In the pre-dawn hours, a woman
suffered a medical crisis and waded into Missouri's Current River, not
resurfacing for several minutes. Despite the cold temperatures and
dense fog that morning, Daniel and Jacob searched the area around the
river until they located and rescued the woman from the frigid waters
and ensured that she could receive the needed medical attention to
survive.
  Daniel Newberry and many other park rangers across our great Republic
go above and beyond every day to protect our fellow Americans from harm
as they enjoy our Nation's natural beauty, but their work responding to
crises such as this often go unnoticed. I sincerely appreciate Daniel's
selfless work every single day. He is truly a Champion of Missouri, and
I wish him all the best as he continues serving the people of
Missouri.

                       TRIBUTE TO WENDY SULLIVAN

 Mr. SCHMITT. Mr. President, today I wish to recognize Wendy
Sullivan, one of the Show-Me-State's leading disability advocates.
Since beginning her career, she has spearheaded the transformation of
disability services across the Midwest and helped equip countless
families with the resources needed to thrive. For the last 30 years,
Wendy has served as CEO of Easterseals Midwest, and under her
stewardship, Easterseals has expanded from a relatively small support
organization helping a few hundred individuals to supporting over
25,000 across Missouri, Kansas, and Illinois and now employs well over
a thousand dedicated workers who endeavor to provide aid close to home.
She has also helped Easterseals Midwest expand the services it offers,
merging with the Center for Hearing and Speech to provide needed
audiology and communication assistance to countless families.
  Wendy's spirit of service shines outside of the workplace as well.
Over the years, she has served in leadership roles with the Missouri
Association of Rehabilitation Facilities, the St. Louis Disabled
Advisory Board, and the Governor's Mental Health Taskforce, just to
name a few of her roles. This December, she will finally begin her
well-earned retirement. She has gone above and beyond in supporting
households with disabled family members, and as a fellow disability
advocate, I am deeply grateful for her decades of service. She is truly
one of the Gateway City's greatest and am proud to represent
outstanding individuals such as herself in the U.S. Senate.

                TRIBUTE TO SERGEANT FIRST CLASS LEO FINN

  Mr. TUBERVILLE. Mr. President, the Book of Proverbs tells us
that ``without a vision, people perish.'' For SGT Leo Finn of Cullman,
AL, he has had a clear vision for his life from day one. Leo feels he
was ``born to serve in the military'' and spent 36 years serving our
country in the Army and Army National Guard. Leo's conviction to serve
has been an asset to our country during some of the most troubling
times, including the Vietnam war and War on Terror.
  Shortly after finishing college in Cullman, Leo enlisted in the Army.
He quickly deployed to Vietnam, where he spent the next 2 years in the
fight against communism in Southeast Asia. Upon returning home, he
married his wife of 54 years, Sandra, and relocated back to Cullman
where they have spent the last five decades working and raising their
family. Leo remained in the

Army, eventually transitioning to the National Guard, while keeping up
two to three other full-time jobs.
  He deployed a second time in the early 2000s to Afghanistan, where he
served as a platoon sergeant, sharing this same sense of purpose with
those in his company. From Alabama to Vietnam to Afghanistan, Leo has
made the Yellowhammer State proud. Now, he stays involved in the
Cullman community through his membership at the Sacred Heart Catholic
Church and his local VFW Post.
  Over the last few years, Leo has faced cancer head-on, but it hasn't
slowed him down or made him lose his vision. He faced his diagnosis
with the same philosophy he faced our enemies abroad: with bravery and
without fear. It is no wonder that his friend and colleague Joe Black
speaks so highly of Leo after all he has endured, saying: ``His
dedication, professionalism, and commitment to duty set an example for
everyone who had the opportunity to serve alongside him. Leo Finn
represents the very best of the Alabama National Guard and the
generation of veterans whose sacrifices helped preserve the freedoms we
enjoy today.''
  I am thankful for Leo's calling to serve our State and country
through all the challenges he has faced. It is my honor to recognize
him as the July Veteran of the Month.
