                           HON. JON C. PORTER

                               of nevada

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 9, 2004

  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor one of our great 
military servicemen, Chief Warrant Officer 5 Eric L. Snow, for his 
service to our country. CW5 Snow served the United States for 38 years 
and he will retire on June 11, 2004 whereupon he will reside in Las 
Vegas, Nevada. His service assignments have sent him to Vietnam, 
Panama, and Haiti. His dedicated exemplary service has earned him the 
Meritorious Service Medal, Armed Forces Reserve Medal, Viet Nam Service 
Medal, Army Service Ribbon, and a United Nations Medal.
  As we celebrate our patriotic holidays such as Memorial Day and July 
4, I reflect upon the many opportunities and privileges that we as 
citizens enjoy because of the sacrifices of our military men and women. 
I stand here today in honor of one such individual whose life has been 
dedicated to his country. It is my hope that we as Americans remember 
the sacrifices of these brave men and women, not only on patriotic 
holidays, but all year, as they serve to protect and preserve those 
essential freedoms we enjoy.
  Mr. Speaker, Chief Warrant Officer 5 Snow has served his country with 
honor and I urge the House to join me in thanking him for his service 
to our country.
