U.S. ARMY STAFF SGT. CARL A. CLEMENT A NEW HAMPSHIRE HERO
Mr. SMITH. Mr. President, I rise today to salute U.S. Army Staff Sgt.
Carl A. Clement, from Sunapee, NH, who died January 10, 1995, from
injuries suffered in an automobile accident while serving his country
in South Korea.
The accident that took the life of this fine young man was a terrible
tragedy for his family and for the State of New Hampshire. Carl was
born in Newport, NH. He is the son of Charles and Mary Clement and
graduated from Sunapee High School in 1983, where he received the
outstanding athlete award. Carl was married to Sandra Clement, of
Lawton, OK. They have two daughters, Jacqueline Amalia and Pamela Megan
Clement.
Carl joined the Army on July 5, 1983, and he was stationed at Fort
Sill in OK, prior to his tour of duty in Korea. He left for Korea in
March 1994 where he served as a generator mechanic. The Clement family
can be proud of Carl and his service to the United States. Carl was an
outstanding soldier, devoted family man, and trusted friend.
As a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, I am honored to
have represented Staff Sgt. Clement and his family in the U.S. Senate.
Sergeant Carl Clement joins a distinguished list of New Hampshire
patriots who have given their lives in the service of their country.
