               IN HONOR OF MASTER SERGEANT DAVID POIRIER

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. ANN M. KUSTER

                            of new hampshire

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, March 12, 2014

  Ms. KUSTER. Mr. Speaker, today, I honor the life of Master Sergeant 
David Poirier, a New Hampshire National Guardsmen who passed away late 
last month while serving in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. 
Master Sergeant Poirier was an exemplary Guardsman, a long-serving 
Postmaster in his hometown of Atkinson, and a great family man. His 
service reminds us of the sacrifice our National Guardsmen and their 
families make on behalf of our state and our country.
   In recent years, we have asked these brave men and women to leave 
friends and family at home as they supported Operations Enduring and 
Iraqi Freedom, and performed humanitarian missions around the world. We 
must not forget how much our Guardsmen give to keep us all safe, 
prosperous, and free. May Master Sergeant Poirier rest in peace, and 
may we honor him by celebrating the service and sacrifice of all those 
who wear the uniform each and every day.
