WASHINGTON, D.C.– Sen. Josh Hawley honored fallen Marine Lance Corporal Jared Schmitz and 55 other military members from Missouri killed in Afghanistan.

Sen. Hawley introduced a resolution on the Senate Floor to honor the military members by reading their names, making it part of the congressional record.

Schmitz was one of 13 military members killed during an attack at the Kabul airport last month.

Before reading the names, Sen. Hawley talked more about Schmitz. He said he was only six months old when terrorists attacked this country on September 11th. He said Schmitz wasn’t even old enough to remember the beginnings o this long war which he would go on to valiantly serve.

Sen. Hawley also told the Senate that Schmitz wanted to serve this nation because he was a man who served others.

Sen. Hawley said he talked with Schmitz’s family after learning about Jared’s death. Hawley said he promised Jared’s father he would share what he told him with the entire nation.

“Jared Schmitz lived a life of honor, he lived a life worth living, and his sacrifice was not in vain,” said Sen. Hawley today, recalling what he told Schmitz’s father.
