                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, January 27, 2009

  Mr. ANDREWS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Specialist Timothy 
R. Long for his service in Iraq. In 1996, when Tim was eleven years 
old, I sat with him in his middle school classroom and prepared 
Valentine's Day cards for U.S. troops serving in Bosnia. Thirteen years 
later, as this Valentine's Day approaches, Tim is stationed in Iraq 
serving in the National Guard. On behalf of New Jersey's First 
Congressional District and the entire Nation, I would like to thank Tim 
for his service and dedication.
