                      RECOGNIZING AUBREY DALE BELL

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. MIKE ROGERS

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 4, 2003

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, Sgt. Aubrey Dale Bell, 33, of 
Tuskegee, Alabama, did this past Monday in Baghdad. Sgt. Bell was a 
member of the 214th Military Police Company based in Alexander City, 
Alabama, and was killed in an attack on the Iraqi police station he was 
helping guard.
  Aubrey Bell was a quiet and unassuming person, Mr. Speaker, but he 
took pride in working hard for his country. When not serving in the 
National Guard, he worked in Alexander City at Russell Corporation. 
Like every other soldier, he dutifully left behind his family and loved 
ones to serve our country overseas.
  Words cannot express the sense of sadness we have for his family, and 
for the gratitude our country feels for his service. Sgt. Bell died 
serving not just the United States, but the entire cause of liberty, on 
a noble mission to help spread the cause of freedom in Iraq and 
liberate an oppressed people from tyrannical rule.
  We will forever hold him closely in our hearts, and remember his 
sacrifice and that of his family as a remembrance of his bravery and 
willingness to serve.
  Thank you, Mr. Speaker, for the House's remembrance on this mournful 
day.
