  HONORING SSGT LLOYD LEE ELLIOTT, USAF 8TH AIR FORCE--34TH BOMB GROUP

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. MARY FALLIN

                              of oklahoma

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 3, 2008

  Ms. FALLIN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to commend SSgt Lloyd Lee 
Elliott, USAF of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, for his service to the United 
States of America.
  SSgt Lloyd Lee Elliott, USAF, distinguished himself in service to our 
country from August 13th, 1943, to October 15th, 1945. SSgt Lloyd Lee 
Elliott served as a tail-gunner on a B-17 Bomber completing 33 missions 
over Germany.
  There are many paths which are set before us in life, many times 
paths which are not desirable to pursue. Answering the call of his 
country, this young man followed the path before him not knowing if it 
would lead him safely back home. Believing in the freedom of the United 
States and in defending our rights, Staff Sergeant Elliott 
distinguished himself in service to our country.
  Each person who has served our country has many experiences which can 
be shared. We share today with Staff Sergeant Elliott our thanks and 
our gratitude for his service. He is one of many who have sacrificed; 
answering the call to make the United States of America what it is 
today.
  Once again, I want to commend SSgt Lloyd Lee Elliott, USAF.

                          ____________________
