                 HONORING SERGEANT EINAR H. INGMAN, JR.

  (Mr. DUFFY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DUFFY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the valiant service of 
one of Wisconsin's war heroes, Einar H. Ingman, Jr., of Tomahawk, 
Wisconsin. Sergeant Ingman was awarded the Medal of Honor for his 
outstanding bravery and courage, going above and beyond the call of 
duty.
  While serving in the Korean war, members of then-Corporal Ingman's 
company were pinned down by enemy fire. Corporal Ingman proceeded to 
charge the enemy's machine gun position by himself. After single-
handedly disabling the enemy's first position with only a grenade and 
rifle fire, Corporal Ingman charged their second position and was 
seriously injured. Nevertheless, with incredible courage and stamina, 
Corporal Ingman rose and took out the enemy's entire gun squad, using 
only his rifle, before he fell unconscious because of his wounds. As a 
result of his actions, the defense of the enemy was broken and more 
than 100 hostile troops abandoned their positions and fled in 
disorganized retreat.
  It's for his courage and unwavering devotion and duty to country that 
I stand here today to honor the service of Sergeant Einar Ingman.
  Sir, your country is proud and grateful.
