  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
distinguished life of Sergeant Willie Nason. Sergeant Nason was born on 
April 12, 1983.
  Sergeant Nason, anxious to serve his country, enlisted in the Marine 
Corps in 2000. In 2004, he was assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 5th 
Marines where he served in Weapons Company as a team leader and later 
squad leader. In August 2004, he deployed to Iraq. Having shown 
phenomenal capabilities as an inspiring leader, he would go on to 
become a Drill Instructor.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Sergeant 
Willie for his service to our country.
