                   IN HONOR OF LEONARD ``BUD'' LOMELL

  (Mr. RUNYAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. RUNYAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a true American hero, 
Sergeant Leonard ``Bud'' Lomell.

[[Page H1676]]

Through his courageous actions on D-day as an Army Ranger, Bud earned a 
Distinguished Service Cross. Bud's brave service was crucial to the 
success of D-day and left an impressive imprint on our Nation's history 
that was documented in two best-selling books: Tom Brokaw's ``The 
Greatest Generation'' and Stephen E. Ambrose's ``The Victors: 
Eisenhower and His Boys: The Men of World War II.''
  Sergeant Lomell passed away on March 1, 2011, at the age of 91, 
leaving his family and our country with a proud legacy of honor and 
service. I am proud and humbled to have been able to call this 
incredible American a constituent. I ask you today to please rise with 
me in honor of Sergeant Leonard ``Bud'' Lomell.
