    RECOGNIZING UNITED STATES MARINE PRIVATE FIRST CLASS ATTILIO M. 
                               LUPACCHINI

  (Mr. FITZPATRICK asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the life 
and service of United States Marine Private First Class Attilio M. 
Lupacchini, who was laid to rest with full military honors this 
morning.
  Private Lupacchini--a native of Yardley, Bucks County, in my district 
in Pennsylvania--was just 2 years out of high school, when, on December 
9, 1950, he made the ultimate sacrifice for his Nation in the mountains 
of North Korea while on a mission to rescue a group of fellow marines.
  His platoon leader described Private Lupacchini as a true fighting 
marine who was small in stature but enormously courageous.
  After more than 65 years, Private Lupacchini's spirit has returned 
home and now rests among our Nation's bravest at Arlington National 
Cemetery, forever providing a place of reflection and remembrance for 
generations of family members and grateful Americans.
  From the bottom of my heart, I express my gratitude to Attilio 
Lupacchini for his membership in the internal ranks of those who 
sacrificed at freedom's altar.
