                         Monday, April 23, 2007

  Mr. SCOTT of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I am honored to recognize, 
Private Lewis C. Dowdy for his distinct and honorable service to our 
Country during the period July 10, 1943 through November 15, 1945. 
Private Dowdy, service number 34756030, served as a Rifleman while 
assigned to the 370th Regimental Combat Team of the famed 92nd Infantry 
Division of the United States Army.
  The 92nd Infantry Division (colored) was a unit of the United States 
Army in World War I and World War II and was nicknamed the ``Buffalo 
Soldiers Division.'' This Segregated unit was the only African American 
infantry division to see combat in Europe during World War II, as part 
of the 5th Army.
  Lewis C. Dowdy's unique service to our Nation is something that we 
should all be proud of, and reflects great honor upon himself, his 
family and the United States Army. Therefore, I am extremely honored to 
enter his accomplishment into the Congressional Record for all to see 
and cherish.
