                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 14, 2016

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor 
Joshua D. Agee, Sergeant, United States Army (ret.), for his service to 
our country.
   Sergeant Agee served in the United States Army and the Colorado Army 
National Guard from September 1999 to June 2009. During his service, he 
served in support of Operation Enduring and Iraqi Freedom, both in 
Kuwait and Iraq. As an Army Medical Specialist, Sergeant Agee had the 
opportunity to serve as a combat medic while on active duty, including 
his tour in Iraq.
   Sergeant Agee participated in the 2015-2016 Veterans History Project 
documentary film produced by the students and Westminster High School 
in conjunction with our office. The film is part of the Library of 
Congress' Veterans History Project (VHP), a congressionally chartered 
project that works to collect, preserve and make accessible personal 
accounts of American war veterans. As a result, my office had the honor 
and privilege of getting to know Sergeant Agee and hearing about his 
experiences as a combat medic. Sergeant Agee's stories will be 
submitted to the Library of Congress to forever be preserved in our 
nation's history.
   Sergeant Agee's courageous service has charted the path for future 
generations of men and women to serve in the military. I extend my 
deepest appreciation to Sergeant Joshua D. Agee for his dedication, 
integrity and outstanding service to the United States of America.
