                      Thursday, September 24, 2009

  Mr. McCLINTOCK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Timothy Smith of 
South Lake Tahoe, CA, who was killed in the line of duty on April 7, 
2007. Tim is survived by his wife Shayna Richard-Smith, their son 
Riley, his parents, Patricia and Michael, his brother Tom, and his 
sister Jackie.
  Tim graduated from South Tahoe High School in 2001 and joined the 
Army in April 2004. He will always be remembered for his sense of 
humor, his warmth, and his great courage. Senator Harry Reid, on the 
floor of the United States Senate, called Tim Smith ``a hero--a real-
life American hero--who gave his life so that others might be safe.''
  Timothy Smith gave the ultimate sacrifice, may we never forget.
