                       HONORING PFC DANIEL WILSON

  (Mr. PRICE of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. PRICE of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I come to the floor today to honor 
a true American hero and to recognize the thousands of brave men and 
women that are currently serving our country both at home and abroad.
  In December of last year, PFC Daniel Wilson of Cherokee County, 
Georgia, was on patrol in Baghdad; and like so many of his fellow 
soldiers, Wilson understood that these patrols are part of his everyday 
life and that it is a risk that they assume selflessly. On this 
particular day, Wilson's HUMVEE struck a land mine, throwing both 
Wilson and fellow soldier out of their vehicle. The wounds that PFC 
Wilson suffered were thankfully not fatal.
  In February of this year, the Army awarded PFC Watson a Purple Heart, 
and I rise today to say thank you to this young man. We send our 
deepest gratitude and respect to all of those serving in our Armed 
Forces. We here at home often do not take the time to truly appreciate 
how blessed we are.

 ========================= END NOTE ========================= 

  The members of the United States military stand on the front lines of 
a great struggle to preserve freedom and democracy, and we could not 
ask for a more capable and professional group of men and women 
protecting our way of life.
