  Mr. DAVIS of Kentucky. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor the life of 
Electricians Mate 1st Class Robert Lawrence Mudd, a sailor from Fort 
Mitchell, Kentucky. Petty Officer Mudd tragically lost his life while 
stationed in Hawaii, assigned to submarine USS Olympia at Pearl Harbor.
  Robert Mudd was a model citizen and patriot. Shortly after graduating 
from high school in 1998, he joined the U.S. Navy. Robert served at the 
Trident Training Facility in Kings Bay, Georgia, and aboard USS 
Nebraska before joining the crew of USS Olympia in May 2007.
  Today, as we honor the service of this exceptional Kentuckian, my 
heartfelt prayers are with Robert's loving parents, Lawrence and 
Barbara, and the rest of his family and friends. We are all indebted to 
Robert for his bravery and willingness to answer the Nation's call to 
defend freedom.
