  Mr. NEY. Mr. Speaker, I hereby offer my heartfelt condolences to the 
family, friends, and community of Lance Cpl. Aaron H. Reed upon the 
death of this outstanding Marine who served with the 3rd Battalion, 
25th Marine Regiment, Fourth Division, Lima Company.
  Lance Cpl. Aaron H. Reed was an active member of the Richmond Dale 
Church of God where his devotion to the Lord was fostered though his 
commitment to the Youth Group. He was an active citizen in his 
community and did his best to make his country a better place to live.
  Lance Cpl. Aaron H. Reed 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 Marine, I offer this token of profound sympathy to the 
family, friends, and colleagues of Lance Cpl. Aaron H. Reed.

                          ____________________
