                            HON. MIKE ROGERS

                     Wednesday, September 12, 2018

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the life of 
Pvt. James L. Disspain.
  Pvt. Disspain of Lincoln, Alabama, served in World War I. He died on 
September 13th in France--just two months before Armistice Day.
  September 13, 2018 will mark the 100th anniversary of his death. On 
September 11th, the City of Lincoln will proclaim a day in his honor 
and have a wreath laying ceremony at his gravesite on September 12th.
  Family members will present an `honor quilt' in Pvt. Disspain's 
memory that honors the 11 members of their family who have served in 
the military from World War I to Vietnam. The quilt is centered around 
Pvt. Disspain and his ultimate sacrifice.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in honoring the life of this brave 
American hero, Pvt. James L. Disspain.
