  On behalf of the people of the 9th Congressional District of Georgia, 
I wish to extend condolences to Corporal McElveen's family and friends, 
and especially to his widow Carrie who resides in my district.
  I also extend the thanks of our state and nation to a brave Marine

never be forgotten.
  Semper Fidelis.
