                RECOGNIZING SERGEANT ATANASIO HARO MARIN

  (Ms. SOLIS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. SOLIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and remember Sergeant 
Atanasio Haro Marin, who lost his life in service to our Nation during 
Operation Iraqi Freedom. Today was his funeral. He came from a city I 
represent in Baldwin Park.
  He was a member of Battery C, 3rd Battalion, 16th Field Artillery, 
4th Infantry Division of Fort Hood, Texas. Today I pay tribute to him, 
to his loved ones, to his family for the safety and freedom and 
protections that he gave us. Let us not forget the other soldiers that 
are there that are also protecting our freedoms.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that Members of Congress please join me in 
extending my sincerest sympathy and condolences to the family and 
friends of Sergeant Atanasio Haro Marin, and would ask that all 
Americans join me in remembering our soldiers at this time.
