HONORING THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF COMMANDER ROBERT “BOBBY” RAMIREZ, III
HON. JIMMY GOMEZ
of california
in the house of representatives
Wednesday, May 20, 2026
Mr. GOMEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and legacy of Robert “Bobby” Ramirez, III. A devoted husband to Anne Ramirez and loving father of four children, Commander Ramirez exemplified a life of courage, duty, and steadfast commitment to his family, his fellow service members, and his Nation. In June 2022, he was promoted to the rank of Commander and entrusted with the leadership of SEAL Team ONE, a position reflecting the immense confidence placed in his character, experience, and distinguished record of service within the Naval Special Warfare community.
United States Navy, having enlisted in 1996 and earned his commission in 2004. Throughout a remarkable military career marked by valor and sacrifice, he served in combat across three theaters of war and was awarded three Combat Action Ribbons and five Bronze Star Medals, including two bearing the “V” device for acts of heroism in combat. Though his passing came only one month after assuming command at Naval Base Coronado, his legacy endures in the lives he led, the fellow servicemembers he inspired, and the Nation he served with honor and distinction. May we remember Commander Ramirez not only for his extraordinary achievements, but also with compassion, gratitude, and reverence for the burdens carried by those who dedicate their lives to the service of others.
