               CELEBRATING THE LIVES OF OUR FALLEN HEROES

  (Mrs. SCHMIDT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mrs. SCHMIDT. Mr. Speaker, tonight in my community we will celebrate 
the lives of our fallen heroes who have fought so bravely to defend our 
freedom, including our own Matt Maupin.
  Today General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker will speak to us and 
report on the surge and its success. As we debate this issue, I ask 
that we continue to support our men and women who have chosen to wear 
the uniform of our country and fight to keep us free. They know all too 
well freedom is not free.
