  Mrs. MUSGRAVE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory of 
Sergeant Isaac Palomarez.
  Mr. Palomarez served in the United States Army as a Sergeant and was 
assigned to the A Company, 1st Battalion, 506th Infantry Regiment, 
101st Airborne Division, Fort Campbell, Kentucky.
  Mr. Palomarez courageously died in combat May 9, 2008 in Kapisa 
Province, Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. I 
believe his service and commitment to our country most worthy of being 
preserved in the Congressional Record. 
  Isaac Palomarez was born April 14, 1982 and graduated from Loveland 
High School in 2001. Mr. Palomarez joined the Army in 2004, following 
in his father Candido's footsteps, who served in the Army in the 
1960's.
  Palomarez is survived by his parents Candido and Elma Palomarez and 
will be remembered as a loving son and loyal friend to many.
  Madam Speaker, I am grateful for Mr. Palomarez's selfless service to 
our Nation. I urge my colleagues to join me in recognizing a man worthy 
of our honor, Mr. Isaac Palomarez.
