                       Monday, September 24, 2018

  Mr. DUFFY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate and honor the 
life and service of Sergeant Colin George Drake from New Richmond, 
Wisconsin.
  As a member of the U.S. Army, Sergeant Drake embodied the best 
qualities of all Americans. He was loyal to his country, respected by 
his battalion, and loved by his family and community. Sergeant Drake 
committed his life to help others. He enlisted in the United States 
Army as a Behavioral Health Technician and voluntarily served on two 
consecutive deployments to Kuwait in 2012 and 2013 as a member of the 
785th Medical Detachment, Combat Operational Stress Control, in 
Madison. Sergeant Drake faithfully served his country until his death 
on June 1, 2018.
  Sergeant Drake's exemplary service will always be remembered. His 
family, his home State of Wisconsin, and his country are eternally 
grateful for his sacrifice. It is my honor to pay tribute to him and I 
urge my colleagues to join me today in honoring the life of Sergeant 
Colin Drake for the sacrifice he made for this country and for our 
freedom.
