                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. RICHARD H. BAKER

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, November 5, 2003

  Mr. BAKER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Private First Class 
James Aaron Boozer of Denham Springs, Louisiana. PFC Boozer serves in 
the 82nd Airborne, 173 Brigade. While serving in Iraq, PFC Boozer 
suffered grave injuries, and is under the care of the staff at Walter 
Reed Army Hospital in Washington, DC.
  It is because of people such as PFC Boozer that we continue to live 
safe and secure. America's men and women who answer the call of service 
and wear our Nation's uniform deserve respect and recognition for the 
enormous burden that they willingly bear. Because of these folks, our 
Nation remains free and strong in the face of danger.
  On behalf of the people of Louisiana, I would like to thank PFC 
Boozer for his service to our country and I wish him a full and speedy 
recovery.
