                        STANDING SOUTH DAKOTANS

 Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, today I rise to congratulate two 
outstanding men from South Dakota, Staff Sergeant Eric Borah of New 
Underwood and Sergeant Daniel Iverson of Madison. Both men have been 
honored this year for their unwavering dedication to our country.
  Eric, a Wheeled Vehicle Mechanic in the South Dakota Army Guard's 
235th Military Police Company from Custer, has been named Non-
Commissioned Officer of the Year.
  Daniel, an Army Bandsman with the South Dakota Army Guard's 147th 
Army Band from Mitchell, was named Soldier of the year.
  Eric and Daniel will be recognized in Washington, DC two of the 
Outstanding Soldiers and Airmen of the Year for the National Guard. It 
is with great pleasure that I offer my congratulations to these two men 
not only for their admirable achievements but also for the great name 
that they bring to the State of South Dakota.
