                         Thursday, May 20, 2004

  Mr. KINGSTON. Mr. Speaker, on this day of Memorial, I rise in honor 
of the soldiers and airmen in my district who were killed while 
fighting to stamp out the tyranny of terrorism in Iraq and Afghanistan. 
They died while protecting freedom and liberty--and for the hope of 
democracy. Their purpose was just, and we are deeply indebted to them. 
These brave soldiers were uniquely courageous--they gave the ultimate 
sacrifice for their country, and our Nation will forever honor them. 
Our thoughts and prayers are continually with their families and loved 
ones.
  As a humble token of my appreciation, I recognize them and request 
that their names be submitted to the Congressional Record to 
demonstrate our permanent gratitude:
