                        Monday, October 1, 2007

  Mr. SMITH of Nebraska. Madam Speaker, today I rise to remember a 
brave young man from the Third District, Pfc. Christopher Pfeifer, who 
passed away last week from wounds suffered in Afghanistan on August 17 
when his unit came under enemy fire. He was assigned to the 1st 
Squadron, 91st Cavalry Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team.
  A talented young man, Chris has been described as the type of person 
who gave his very best at everything he did, and who loved the Army. 
Chris' death came just days before his wife, Karen, gave birth to their 
first child, a baby girl.
  Words cannot express our gratitude for Chris' service to our country, 
or the loss of such a brave individual.
