          REMEMBERING THE LIFE OF CORPORAL FRANCIS JAMES JURY

  (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 Corporal Francis James Jury of Clearfield, Pennsylvania.
  Corporal Francis Jury was reported missing on December 2, 1950, at 23 
years old. Corporal Jury was deemed missing during the battle with 
enemy forces near the Chosin Reservoir in North Korea.
  On July 27, 2018, following the summit between President Donald Trump 
and North Korean Leader Kim Jong-un, North Korea returned the remains 
of 55 American servicemembers killed during the Korean war. Following 
DNA testing, Corporal Jury was identified as one of those 55 members.
  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 Corporal Jury'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.
