  Mr. QUAYLE. Mr. Speaker, today, I would like to honor Stephen Arthur 
Dymarcik, Sr., who honorably served our country in the Army from 1966-
1967 in Vietnam. The son of Polish immigrants, his family remembers him 
as a deeply patriotic and proud American who taught them to be proud of 
their Polish heritage, while being grateful for the opportunity to live 
in America. He told his son, ``America is the greatest country in the 
world. We aren't perfect . . . but we are pretty close.'' Mr. Dymarcik 
was rated 100 percent service-connected disabled by the Veterans 
Administration and passed away in August 2003. His loyalty to his 
country, patriotism and integrity are not forgotten by his family. To 
Mr. Dymarcik and his family, and to so many others who have honorably 
served our country, we appreciate your bravery, your service and your 
sacrifices.
