  Mr. McNERNEY. Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in 
honoring the life and service of U.S. Navy Hospital corpsman 
Christopher Gnem, who died in a Marine landing craft accident off the 
coast of Southern California. Christopher, a hospital corpsman with 
Bravo Company, BLT \1/4\, 15th, MEU, was among nine servicemembers who 
were killed in the accident.
  Christopher was a graduate of Lincoln High School in Stockton, 
California. He is remembered by his family, and friends for his kind 
spirit and the positive impact he made on those around him.
  Our community mourns the loss of Christopher, and our thoughts and 
prayers are with his family. Christopher selflessly chose to serve our 
Nation, and his commitment to our country will not be forgotten.
  I ask my colleagues to remember Christopher Gnem and the brave men 
and women who place themselves in harm's way in service to our country.
