  Ms. GINNY BROWN-WAITE of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor 
Ryan Seader of West Palm Beach, Florida, an Army Private First Class 
soldier currently serving in Iraq.
  Following his education at community college and prior to enlisting 
in the National Guard, Private Seader used his natural ability to fix 
things to start a profession in the construction field, specializing in 
restoring old homes.
  Enlisting in the National Guard in January 2004 as a mechanic in the 
construction field, Private Seader was trained to work with water 
pumps. Following his activation, he was sent to Fort Dix, New Jersey 
and cross trained to serve as a prison guard.
  Private Seader is currently serving in company 652 while deployed in 
Iraq. his Company is stationed at the Abu Ghraib Prison where he is a 
part of the team working to demolish the facility.
  While on a recent leave, Private Seader was presented with an 
American flag that had been flown in his honor. Ryan is a proud 
soldier-demonstrating his dedication to his country and the war on 
terror.
  Private Seader's parents are also committed to helping fight the 
global war on terror. Mary and Rick Seader live in inverness and work 
to educate their local community on the need to defend the American 
ideal and to never give into cowardly acts by terrorists like the 
September 11, 2001 attack on our homeland.
  Mr. Speaker, it is soldiers like Ryan Seader who volunteer to protect 
the freedoms that all Americans hold dear to their hearts. While brave 
men and women like Ryan serve in the name of freedom and liberty, his 
Family, friends and loved ones should know that this Congress will 
never forget his sacrifice and commitment.
