                  HONORING SERGEANT RICHARD M. SHARROW

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to remember 
the life of Sergeant Richard Sharrow of Marienville, Pennsylvania.
  Army Sergeant Richard M. Sharrow was reported missing on July 25, 
1950, at the age of 22. Sergeant Sharrow was deemed missing after his 
unit sustained heavy casualties while defending against the North 
Korean army's advance near Yongdong, South Korea.
  Last week, Sergeant Sharrow's remains were returned home. On Monday, 
with full military honors, he was laid to rest in Marienville.
  Madam Speaker, we still feel the pain of those missing from conflicts 
fought generations ago, and we are forever indebted to their service. 
My prayers are with Sergeant Sharrow's family during this solemn time. 
It is my hope with his return his family is able to find peace and 
solace in knowing their loved one died a hero in service to the Nation.
