                      Thursday, September 8, 2005

  Mr. NEY. Mr. Speaker, I hereby offer my heartfelt condolences to the 
family, friends, and community of Sergeant Bradley Jared Harper upon 
the death of this outstanding soldier.
  Sergeant Harper was a member of Company A, 4th Amphibious Assault 
Battalion, 4th Marine Division, Norfolk, Virginia serving his great 
nation in the country of Iraq. He was a leader in his unit and a loving 
husband to his wife. Sergeant Harper was an active citizen in his 
community and did his best to make his country a better place to live.
  Sergeant Harper will be remembered for his unsurpassed sacrifice of 
self while protecting others. His example of strength and fortitude 
will be remembered by all those who knew him.
  While words cannot express our grief during the loss of such a 
courageous soldier, I offer this token of profound sympathy to the 
family, friends, and colleagues of Sergeant Bradley Jared Harper.
