              HONORING THE SERVICE OF CORPORAL C.G. BOLDEN

  (Mr. HILL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of U.S. Army Corporal 
C.G. Bolden, a Clinton, Arkansas, native and veteran of the Korean 
conflict.
  In January 1951, Corporal Bolden was taken prisoner of war in Korea; 
and at that time, his wife, Geraldean, and 3-year-old son, Larry, were 
notified that he was missing in action. Tragically, that same year, 
Corporal Bolden died of malnutrition under horrific conditions in a 
North Korean POW camp.
  In 1993, his remains were among those returned to the United States, 
and through innovative DNA testing, scientists at the Joint POW/MIA 
Accounting Command identified Corporal Bolden's remains and determined 
his cause of death.
  On February 21, after decades of unanswered questions, Corporal 
Bolden will be laid to rest in his hometown of Clinton, Arkansas, and I 
am honored to join his family to remember him and welcome him home.
  Corporal Bolden gave the ultimate sacrifice for his country, and his 
life is an example for all Americans and all

Arkansans. I thank him and his family for their service and their 
sacrifice.
