            RECOGNIZING STAFF SERGEANT PAUL LINCOLN OLMSTEAD

  (Mr. MOORE of Utah asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. MOORE of Utah. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of 
Staff Sergeant Paul Lincoln Olmstead, who passed away on September 21, 
2021.
  Born with an instinct to protect and defend others, Lincoln embodied 
the Green Beret motto to ``de oppresso liber'' or ``to free the 
oppressed.''
  Lincoln served as a special forces engineer in the Utah National 
Guard's 19th Special Forces Group. This elite group of operators serves 
as the tip of the spear of the greatest fighting force the world has 
ever known.
  Just 5 years into his service, Sergeant Olmstead had become a Green 
Beret and a special forces sniper.
  Lincoln will always be known as a disciplined professional with a 
steadfast commitment to the mission at hand. Lincoln proudly served his 
country, and we owe him our deepest gratitude. Lincoln will be 
remembered as a loving husband to his wife, Danaya, and a dedicated 
father to his son, Tavian, and daughter, Alexa.
