                 REMEMBERING PRIVATE NATHAN WHITE, JR.

 Mr. SCOTT. Mr. President, I rise today to honor another of our 
Lowcountry Vietnam Veterans, Nathan White, Jr. He grew up in the area 
known as Liberty Hill, SC. As a young boy growing up, he embedded in 
his heart a desire to be a U.S. Marine. His mother gave her final 
blessing upon his graduation from Bonds-Wilson High School, and Nathan 
went to training at Parris Island before being deployed to Vietnam.
  Private White gave his life while saving a fellow Marine at the age 
of 19 years old. His influence continues today in the lives of his 
family members who have extended his love of serving our county. His 
oldest nephew Alfred Green serves in Germany and his niece Lt. Col. 
Antoinette Sheppard proudly serves at Joint Base Charleston.
  We are also honored to recognize his sister Alfreda Levaine, who not 
only helped raise her brother but also took a stand and marched with 
Mrs. Coretta Scott King in 1969. As she passionately puts it, ``you 
have to stand for something during your life to make a difference.''
  It is with pride and honor we recognize Private Nathan White, Jr. and 
his family. We will never forget his sacrifice.
