  Mr. CUELLAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the life of 
Master Sergeant Jose N. Guerra.
  Master Sergeant Guerra was born in Laredo, Texas on June 17, 1938 to 
Jose and Anselma Guerra. Eventually, he joined the military where he 
served 28 years, in the United States Army, before retiring. During his 
time, he served in Korea, Operation Desert Storm, and Operation Desert 
Shield. Master Sergeant Guerra was also a dedicated civil servant for 
over 40 years with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban 
Development. Along with his distinguished career, Master Sergeant 
Guerra also served as an active member of the Army Masonic Lodge No. 
1105 and the Alzafar Shrine.
  From his brave service to our country to his desire to aid those in 
need, Master Sergeant Guerra's dedication to serving his country will 
not be forgotten. His dedication and service to our Nation is a legacy 
his family, friends, and associates will always remember.
  He is survived by his wife, Elva V. Guerra, sons, Jose N. Guerra, Jr. 
and Juan M. Guerra; grandchildren, Xavier, Andrew, Vivian and Olivia; 
brothers and sisters, Jorge, Juan, David, Norma Lee and Odeila Micaela

  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to have the opportunity to recognize Master 
Sergeant Jose N. Guerra.
