Honoring the Life and Service of Army Private Isabella Gonzales
In the Congressional Record of Jul 21, 2026.
Text in the Record
(Mr. GILL of Texas asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. GILL of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and service of Army Private Isabella Gonzalez, a 19-year-old soldier from Carrollton, Texas, in the district I am proud to represent. Private Gonzalez was killed in action last Friday during an Iranian strike on American forces in Jordan where she stood in harm's way to defend this Nation and the troops beside her. She had barely begun her adult life, yet she had already given everything to protect ours. Carrollton and all of Texas grieves tonight for one of its own. We also give thanks for a young woman who chose service over safety and duty over comfort. To her family, her fellow soldiers, and all who mourn her, this Congress stands with you, and this Nation will not forget her sacrifice.
