                       Thursday, October 6, 1994

  Mr. HAYES. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to ask that it be remembered 
that on this date, 50 years ago, Pvt. Walter S. Verret, son of Fernest 
and Edna Verret of Jeanerette, LA, died from wounds received in action. 
Pvt. Verret died near Morey, France while serving with the Army's Co. C 
317th Inf. Regt., Eightieth Division. Pvt. Verret along with thousands 
of other soldiers made the highest and noble sacrifice so that we may 
be free. Please let them be remembered and honored.
  This memorial is submitted on behalf of Pvt. Verret's brother Howard 
A. Verret, who served in World War II in the Pacific theatre.
