            HONORING THE SERVICE OF SERGEANT CARL MOORE, III

  (Mr. GRIFFIN of Arkansas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GRIFFIN of Arkansas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Sergeant 
Carl Moore, III, from Bigelow, Arkansas, for his continuing service to 
our country. Sergeant Moore, a fellow Screaming Eagle, is with the 
101st Airborne Division.
  In early June of this year, Sergeant Moore was wounded while on 
patrol in Afghanistan. A bullet struck him under his arm, puncturing 
one of his lungs and grazing his spine.
  Sergeant Moore is currently at Tampa Polytrauma Rehabilitation Center 
where he is recovering. He's unable to walk, but he has feeling in his 
legs and toes, and his prognosis is good.
  I pray for Carl's speedy recovery so he can get back to enjoying the 
things he loves. My thoughts go out to his parents, Carl and Teresa, of 
Conway, Arkansas, and his wife, Heather, and their 4-year-old daughter, 
Addison.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in thanking Sergeant 
Moore for his service and saluting all who have served and continue to 
serve our Nation.
