           HONORING SERGEANT FIRST CLASS ANTHONY LYNN WOODHAM

  (Mr. BOOZMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BOOZMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a brave American 
soldier who sacrificed his life for freedom, SFC Anthony Lynn Woodham 
from Rogers, Arkansas.
  A mechanic assigned to the Arkansas National Guard Delta Company, 
39th Brigade Support Battalion, 39th Brigade Combat Team of Heber 
Springs, Anthony put himself in harm's way to make this world a better 
place.
  His commitment to this country is second to none. Anthony considered 
his service an honor, first enlisting in 1989, and re-enlisting after 
he returned from his deployment in 2005. He died Saturday, 6 months shy 
of 20 years in the military. He will be remembered as a soldier, a son, 
a husband and a father who cared about everyone around him. His wife 
Crystal describes Anthony as a loving husband and great father.
  Mr. Speaker, Anthony is a true American hero. I ask that my 
colleagues keep his family and friends in their thoughts and prayers 
during this very difficult time.
