  Mr. BUCSHON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor U.S. Army Specialist 
Arronn D. Fields.
  SPC Fields, a 27-year-old native of Terre Haute, Indiana, lost his 
life in combat on May 21st in Parwan Province, Afghanistan, during an 
insurgent attack when his military vehicle received rocket-propelled 
grenade fire.
  SPC Fields was assigned to the 381st Military Police Company, 81st 
Troop Command, Army National Guard located in Plymouth, Indiana. SPC 
Fields deployed to Afghanistan as a member of Task Force Guardian, a 
multi-unit military police force from Indiana.
  Indiana lost a great citizen, who enlisted in the Indiana National 
Guard in 2006.
  I would like to offer my most heartfelt condolences to SPC Fields' 
family and friends. His commitment to his fellow soldiers and the 
Indiana National Guard make SPC Fields a patriot. We are a grateful 
Nation and SPC Fields will be missed, but not forgotten.
