                 IN HONOR OF THE 395TH ORDNANCE COMPANY

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. MARK GREEN

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 1, 2004

  Mr. GREEN of Wisconsin. Mr. Speaker, it is my privilege to recognize 
before this House the brave men and women of the 395th Ordnance Company 
who last week returned home after serving 10 months in Afghanistan. 
These soldiers played a critical role in the war on terror, and stand 
as a shining example of patriotism and commitment to all Americans.
  In the face of reat peril and threat, the men and women of the 
Appleton, Wisconsin-based 395th moved essential ammunition and supplies 
to the battlefield for their comrades. They played a vital role in 
securing peace and stability in a nation once dominated by terror and 
oppression, and their efforts have helped nourish the seeds of 
democracy in Afghanistan.
  Mr. Speaker, when future generations of Americans look back on the 
conflicts in the Middle East, they will certainly remember the service 
and sacrifice of the 395th. And today, I am thankful that they are home 
safely with us once again. On behalf of the citizens of Wisconsin's 
Eighth Congressional District, and a grateful nation, it is my honor to 
recognize these courageous individuals.
