                     IN HONOR OF SERGEANT CARL MANN

  Mr. BUCSHON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the incredible life 
and heroic service of Sergeant Carl Mann.

[[Page H4397]]

  This past week, on the 75th anniversary of D-day, I visited Normandy, 
France, where Sergeant Mann and more than 150,000 American troops 
stormed the beaches to gain a foothold in mainland Europe.
  For his heroic service, Sergeant Mann, a native of Mount Vernon, 
Indiana, received three Purple Hearts and seven Bronze Stars while 
serving in the 5th Infantry Division of General George S. Patton's 3rd 
Army.
  In fitting fashion of a true hero, Sergeant Mann was laid to rest in 
Arlington National Cemetery on June 6, this year, the 75th anniversary 
of D-day. Today, I take a moment to honor the selflessness that he and 
the Greatest Generation made so that we and future generations of 
Americans may enjoy boundless freedoms.
  My prayers are with his children and grandchildren that carry on his 
legacy. His memory will forever be a reminder of a day of great 
tragedy, but also of triumph.
  Rest in peace and God bless.
