                          TRIBUTE TO RON NUTZ

 Mr. MARSHALL. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize and 
thank Mr. Ron Nutz of Haddam, KS.
  Last September, I traveled to Washington County and met many 
outstanding Kansans, amongst them was Mr. Ron Nutz. Ron is responsible 
for spearheading the construction of the Mark Nutsch Horse Soldier 
Monument and the 9/11 Memorial in Washington County, KS. Mark Nutsch 
served as a Ranger in the Army and as a special forces officer, 
deploying on multiple combat tours. Shortly following the 9/11 attacks 
on our country, he led his team into northern Afghanistan and fought 
against the Taliban and al-Qaeda, much of the time on horseback.
  I would like to thank Ron for the work he has done towards the 
completion of this project. The monument will depict a soldier on 
horseback and will also incorporate the stone, lapis lazuli, which is 
found throughout Afghanistan. The groundbreaking ceremony will be held 
on June 27.
  I now ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Mr. Ron Nutz for 
all of his hard work, as well as in wishing him nothing but success in 
the future.
