                           TOM KILDUFF EULOGY

  (Mrs. BOEBERT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. BOEBERT. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor the life of my friend, 
Tom Kilduff.
  Tom was a man of grit and glory, whose great sense of humor and love 
for America will be greatly missed. Tom gave so much to his country, 
most notably his service in the Marine Corps. Tom once told me that the 
Army told him to be all that he could be, so he became a marine.
  Tom completed three tours in Vietnam where he distinguished himself 
as a man of valor, sacrifice, and also a really great shot, earning the 
USMC Rifle Expert Shooter's Badge and Pistol Sharpshooter Badge, the 
Bronze Star, and the Purple Heart. Upon returning home, he married his 
wife, Jeannie, and raised three beautiful daughters and had seven 
grandchildren.
  Meeker, Colorado, is a better place because of Tom. We will surely 
miss his love of country, passion for the great outdoors, hanging out 
at Meeker's coffee shop--or the Shell gas station, as others may call 
it--and, of course, seeing him along with his precious dog, Sarge, 
following close behind.
  Semper fi, Tom.
