U.S. Rep Mike Ross, D-Prescott, honored former state legislator James Jordan of Monticello and former Navy SEAL Jeremy Wise of Virginia, an Arkansas native, with separate entries today in the Congressional Record.

Jordan died Dec. 27 at the age of 84. He was elected to the state House in 1986 and served for 12 years.

Wise, a 35-year-old private contractor, was killed Dec. 30 in an attack on a CIA outpost near Khost, Afghanistan. He was raised in Arkansas and graduated from Hendrix College in Conway.
