  Mr. NEY. Mr. Speaker: Whereas, Specialist Richard A. Hardy of A 
Company, 2nd Battalion, 69th Armor Regiment, 3rd Infantry Division, 
United States Army honorably and with courage fulfilled his duty to the 
United States of America; and
  Whereas, Specialist Richard A. Hardy volunteered to serve his country 
and fought to secure freedom for an oppressed people and for the 
continued liberty we enjoy at home; and
  Whereas, Specialist Richard A. Hardy gave the last full measure of 
devotion to his country amid the sands of Ar Ramadi, Iraq during 
Operation Iraqi Freedom.
  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 Specialist Richard A. Hardy.
