                        Thursday, June 22, 2017

  Mr. ISSA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Yeoman 3rd Class Shingo 
Alexander Douglass from Oceanside who died serving his country aboard 
the USS Fitzgerald. Shingo was a fine young sailor who proudly served 
his country. For such a young man he had accomplished so much. I know 
no words can describe the overwhelming grief of his family and friends 
at this time. The only consolation we here can offer is the thanks of 
the grateful nation he served and our pledge to support his and all 
other military families across our country. Shingo remains a hero whose 
memory will continue to provide strength, courage and inspiration to 
the others. I thank him for the sacrifice he made to protect our 
country and to help those who long for peace and freedom. I would also 
like to commend the crew of the USS Fitzgerald for all their efforts to 
save lives and their ship. I would like to extend my deepest 
condolences to his loved ones and his fellow sailors. This unimaginable 
tragedy reminds us all to cherish those who serve.
