TRIBUTE TO JADA McMILLAN

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 50 (Thursday, March 19, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 50 (Thursday, March 19, 2026)] [Senate] [Page S1365] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] TRIBUTE TO JADA McMILLAN Mr. SCHMITT. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize SrA Jada McMillan, an outstanding medic with the 509th Medical Group at Whiteman Air Force Base. After leaving work one day in July of 2025, Senior Airman McMillan witnessed a hit-and-run auto accident resulting in one of the vehicles becoming airborne. After quickly pulling over to check on the passengers alongside one of her coworkers, Jada drew upon her experience in the medical field to remain calm and help the injured passenger escape from the soon-burning vehicle, choosing to stay with the passenger until first responders could arrive. Thanks to her ability to remain calm and focused, the victim survived and was able to receive the necessary medical care. SrA Jada McMillan has truly proven herself a Champion of Missouri, both in her dedicated service to our Nation in the U.S. Air Force and for her decisive action last July. Her outstanding devotion to protecting others is truly remarkable, and she has more than shown that she embodies the spirit of service that makes our Nation truly special. I am proud to represent such an outstanding individual in the U.S. Senate and wish her all the best as she continues serving in our Armed Forces. ____________________
