                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
 Urging the Commandant of the Coast Guard to name an appropriate Coast 
    Guard vessel after Coast Guard Petty Officer Third Class Nathan 
                              Bruckenthal.

Whereas Coast Guard Petty Officer Third Class Nathan Bruckenthal was a proud 
        member of the Coast Guard who willingly entered into harms way to 
        protect our Nation and his fellow servicemembers from terrorists and to 
        assist the people of Iraq in their pursuit of freedom and democracy;
Whereas on April 25, 2004, Petty Officer Bruckenthal died of wounds suffered in 
        an attack that began when suicide bombers in boats attacked pumping 
        stations in the Persian Gulf;
Whereas Petty Officer Bruckenthal was the first member of the Coast Guard killed 
        in action since the Vietnam War; and
Whereas by his actions, Petty Officer Bruckenthal exemplified honor, respect, 
        and devotion to duty, and it is necessary to ensure that the legacy of 
        this great American, like that of many who have fallen with him, is 
        known and honored: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That the Congress urges the Commandant of the Coast Guard to name an 
appropriate Coast Guard vessel after Petty Officer Third Class Nathan 
Bruckenthal.
