                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, September 14, 2020

  Mr. WENSTRUP. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize the late LTC Harry 
Shoop who passed away on August 19, at the age of 99. LTC Shoop joined 
the Army in 1940, serving in Ohio's 37th and 38th Infantry Divisions.
  He demonstrated integrity and valor in the Pacific during World War 
II, serving as platoon sergeant for Company B and Company H of the 
149th Infantry Regiment. I was proud to present him with his Purple 
Heart at a 2017 ceremony, when he was also awarded his long overdue 
Bronze Star and World War II Service Medal.
  I am eternally grateful for LTC Shoop for his outstanding 31-year 
military career. I also thank him for his lifelong commitment to 
serving the people of Ohio and this great nation.
  I pray that God will bring comfort to LTC Shoop's family and friends, 
and all those in the community grieving his loss.
  May God bless them.
