                     RECOGNIZING CAPTAIN MARK WEBER

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Captain 
Mark K. Weber who died in a helicopter crash on March 15 while serving 
in our Armed Forces in Iraq.
  Captain Weber was a combat rescue officer assigned to the 38th Rescue 
Squadron based at Moody's Air Force Base in the First Congressional 
District of Georgia. He was one of seven in the helicopter crash who 
lost their lives serving our country that day. As a combat rescue 
officer, Captain Weber's role with his team was to fly into combat and 
rescue injured soldiers.
  I want to thank Captain Weber and his family for his service. My 
thoughts and prayers are with his family and his friends.
  Mr. Speaker, I want all of our servicemen and -women to know that we 
are ever grateful for their service. They are in our thoughts and 
prayers, and I could not thank them enough for the work they are doing 
to spread democracy and freedom across the globe.
