                      Thursday, September 7, 2017

  Mr. KELLY of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, today I rise in memory of 
fallen civilian contractor Carl T. Carroll who gave his life while in 
service to our great nation on August 20, 2005, during Operation Iraqi 
Freedom. Mr. Carroll died from injuries he suffered during a roadside 
attack in Iraq. Mr. Carroll was in Iraq for six months working for the 
Titan Corporation, where he was the Kalsu Site Manager with the 
linguist operation. Through his obituary, Mr. Carroll, a U.S. Army 
Veteran, was remembered by his colleagues at Titan as a man of 
conviction, character, and integrity.
  Mr. Carroll retired in 2000 from Fort Indiantown Gap, Pennsylvania as 
a helicopter pilot instructor, earning the rank of Chief Warrant 
Officer 4. He worked as a helicopter pilot for Geisinger Medical 
Center, Danville until he joined the Titan Corporation.
  Mr. Carroll was a member of the Williamstown United Methodist Church, 
life member of the American Legion, and a life member of the National 
Rifle Association (NRA). He also served as a volunteer with the 
Williamstown Ambulance Association in Williamstown, Pennsylvania.
  The Dimon Funeral Home's online condolences page included a comment 
from a former coworker. ``I was impressed with Carl as a true gentleman 
the very first time we met,'' Robert Humphries wrote. ``Even for those 
of us who knew Carl for only a short time, his passing leaves us all at 
a loss.'' Mr. Carroll was also remembered in a post written by a fellow 
veteran. ``I knew Carl for a short time as we served together at the 
Eastern Army National Guard Training site,'' retired Master Sergeant 
(MSG) Robert Humphries wrote. ``I knew him to be a man of strong moral 
conviction and dedication to not only duty, but to his fellow man.''
  Mr. Carroll was buried with full military honors at Williamstown 
Methodist Cemetery in Williamstown, Pennsylvania.
  Mr. Carroll is survived by his wife, Karen L. Hay Carroll; his 
daughter, Brandy M. Carroll-Duncannon; his two sons, Jason Carroll, and 
Justin R. Welker; and his brothers, David Carroll and Brian Carroll.
  Mr. Carroll's service to our country will always be remembered.
