                   IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES

                         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--

    (1) to protect the United States and his fellow service members from 
terrorists; and

    (2) to assist the people of Iraq in their pursuit of freedom and 
democracy;

Whereas, on April 25, 2004, Petty Officer Bruckenthal died of wounds that were 
        inflicted during 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 to be 
        killed in action since the Vietnam War;
Whereas, by his actions, Petty Officer Bruckenthal exemplified honor, respect, 
        and devotion to duty; and
Whereas it is necessary to ensure that the legacy of that great citizen of the 
        United States, like the many individuals who have served the United 
        States and have fallen with him, is known and honored: Now, therefore, 
        be it
    Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), 
That Congress urges the Commandant of the Coast Guard to name an 
appropriate Coast Guard vessel after Coast Guard Petty Officer Third 
Class Nathan Bruckenthal.
