  Mr. BARLETTA. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Army Sergeant Timothy L. 
Hayslett who passed away on November 15, 2003, while serving with the 
United States Army in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
   Sergeant Hayslett was born on May 17, 1977, to Guy and Mary 
Hayslett. After graduating from Big Spring High School in Newville, 
Pennsylvania, he enlisted and was assigned to the Army's 1st Battalion, 
37th Armored Regiment of the 1st Armored Division, based in Friedberg, 
Germany. A husband and father of two daughters, Sergeant Hayslett 
planned to dedicate his career to the military. Prior to his passing, 
he had already spent eight years serving in the Army and had recently 
re-enlisted.
   Sergeant Hayslett deployed to Iraq in May 2003. On November 15, he 
was patrolling the city of Baghdad when a grenade was thrown into his 
Humvee. Sergeant Hayslett and two other soldiers inside the vehicle 
were injured from the blast of the IED. Ultimately, Sergeant Hayslett 
perished from the wounds sustained in this attack. He had been 
scheduled to return to Germany in December.
   Mr. Speaker, the men and women who serve in our Nation's armed 
forces provide an invaluable service to sustain our country's freedom. 
Therefore, for his dedicated service and sacrifice to protect our great 
Nation, I commend Army Sergeant Timothy L. Hayslett.
