REMEMBERING SAN DIEGO VICTIMS OF LIBYA ATTACK
(Mrs. DAVIS of California asked and was given permission to address
the House for 1 minute.)
Mrs. DAVIS of California. Mr. Speaker, San Diegans are very sad today
because they learned yesterday that two of the Libya victims were from
the San Diego area. As we know, they were killed in the consulate in
Benghazi, protecting fellow Americans there with Ambassador Chris
Stevens and Sean Smith.
The two victims from San Diego were Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty. In
talking about Mr. Doherty, a friend said:
You never take off your uniform. You hang it in the closet,
but everything that went along with it is still there. All
the training and the dedication that you have to your Nation
is what drives these guys.
And also for Tyrone Woods, a friend said:
If there were more people like him, the country would be in
much better shape. We need people to keep doing what he was
doing because he really believed in freedom, and he really
believed in the United States.
As we know, these were two highly decorated military SEALs who had
left the community of SEALs and were serving with the consulate there
and with the State Department in Libya. We certainly celebrate their
life and we mourn their death. I want to recognize their families and
let them know that our thoughts and our prayers are with them.
