               HONORING THE LIFE AND SERVICE OF MARC LEE

  (Ms. CHENEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. CHENEY. Mr. Speaker, today the House will consider H.R. 6016, 
designating the United States Postal Service facility in Arizona as the 
Marc Lee Memorial Post Office Building. This is a fitting honor and 
tribute to Petty Officer 2nd Class Marc Alan Lee for his heroic actions 
during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
  On August 2, 2006, while on patrol in Ramadi, Marc Lee fearlessly 
exposed himself to direct enemy fire in order to protect the lives of 
his teammates. He gave his life for his brothers and for our freedom.
  He was posthumously awarded the Silver Star for his actions that day. 
In the words of Jocko Willink, commander of Task Unit Bruiser, Marc's 
unit in Iraq, Marc was ``one of those rare men, those true heroes, the 
ones who rose above the rest of us to symbolize courage and faith and 
selflessness and love.''
  As we honor Marc Lee today, let us all recommit ourselves to 
cherishing the freedom for which he died and to living lives worthy of 
the sacrifice of all our men and women who have given their lives for 
our liberty.
  God bless Marc and his family, and God bless the United States of 
America.
