  Mr. LAMBORN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Captain 
Thomas Gramith of the 336th Fighter Squadron, Seymour Air Force Base, 
United States Air Force.
  Captain Gramith died in an F 15E crash while providing air support to 
ground troops during Operation Enduring Freedom near Ghazni Province in 
Afghanistan.
  Captain Gramith is survived by his wife Angie, their daughters Stella 
and Eva, and his father and step-mother Frederick and Cynthia and his 
mother and step-father Patricia and Robert.
  Captain Gramith was an honorable and dedicated airman who died 
serving his country. His commitment to his country will stand as an 
inspiration to all Americans. To his family and friends, I offer my 
humble thoughts and prayers. May God bless them in this time of 
remembrance.
