  Mr. SCHROCK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory of Petty 
Officer Second Class Scott Michael Danielson who passed away in service 
to our nation during a training exercise on February 22, 2001.
  Petty Officer Danielson was a member of U.S. Navy Seal Team Eight, 
based at Little Creek Amphibious Base in Virginia Beach, Virginia. A 
native of Royal Oak, Michigan, Petty Officer Danielson joined the Navy 
in 1992 and owing to his exemplary service, was given the opportunity 
of joining the elite Navy Seals.
  Petty Officer Danielson served our nation supporting Task Force 
Falcon during Operation Guardian in Kosovo. During his outstanding 
career, Petty Officer Danielson earned several medals and commendations 
including the Navy Commendation Medal, three Navy Achievement Medals, 
two Good Conduct Medals, the National Defense Medal, the Kosovo 
Campaign Medal, the Sea Service Deployment Medal, and the NATO Medal.
  Mr. Speaker, America lost one of her finest with the untimely passing 
of Petty Officer Second Class Scott Michael Danielson. His passing 
reminds us of the danger that the men and women of our military face in 
both times of peace and war.
  Our grateful nation mourns the loss of Petty Officer Second Class 
Scott Michael Danielson and extends its sympathies to Scott's loved 
ones. His family should be proud of the life he lived and should never 
doubt the gratitude of his nation for his courageous and exemplary 
service.
