               HONORING THE LIFE AND SERVICE OF MARC LEE

  (Mr. BABIN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. BABIN. Mr. Speaker, ``I have felt fear at some of the things I 
have seen here. I have seen amazing things and I have seen sad things, 
but being in Iraq makes me realize what a great country we have.''
  These are the words of Navy SEAL Marc Lee in his last letter home 
before making the ultimate sacrifice for our country in Ramadi, Iraq.
  My son, Leif, served with Marc on SEAL Team 3 and was with him during 
his final act of honor. By all accounts, faith, courage, and 
determination were Marc's guiding principles. They carried him 
throughout his valiant career.
  Thanks to Marc and many men like him, good continues to triumph over 
evil. In their violent wake, they leave behind humility, love, and 
selflessness, reminding me of John 3:13:

       Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his 
     life for his friends.
