  Mr. MEEHAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor U.S. Army veteran 
Rusty Carter for his service to our country. Rusty is a long-time 
Delaware County resident who enlisted in the Army in April, 2009. Rusty 
became a paratrooper with the ``Screaming Eagles'' of the famed 101st 
Airborne Division. He deployed to Afghanistan in 2010 and in July of 
that year came under heavy enemy fire. Rusty was awarded a Purple Heart 
for his injuries in the battle but just a month later was back in the 
fight. Rusty was again injured in a Humvee accident in 2011. He'll 
receive the Freedom Medal from the Delaware County Veterans Memorial 
Association tonight.
