                      Thursday, September 23, 2004

  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Pvt Ryan 
Michael McCauley, who was killed while defending our Nation on 
September 5, 2004 in Sadr City, Iraq.
  For the past year, Private McCauley has rendered faithful, 
conscientious, and valuable services to the U.S. Army and to the United 
States of America. Private McCauley will be remembered for his 
commendable service and dedication to this great Nation.
  Private McCauley was a native of Lewisville, TX and a recent graduate 
of Lewisville High School. At Lewisville High the future soldier was an 
amiable and trustworthy student, who left behind many close friends. On 
September 11, family, friends, students, and school administration 
attended a ceremony at the school in tribute to their former classmate 
and fallen soldier.
  Private McCauley joined the Army after graduating in 2002 where he 
faithfully served our Nation in the 2nd Battalion, 5th Calvary 
regiment, 1st Calvary Division.
  Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of this 
young American hero.
