               REMEMBERING U.S. ARMY SERGEANT CADE WOLFE

  (Mr. FINSTAD asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FINSTAD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remember U.S. Army Sergeant 
Cade Wolfe of Mankato, Minnesota, who was tragically lost in a 
helicopter crash in the eastern Mediterranean Sea during a routine air 
refueling mission last Friday.
  Cade knew early on that he wanted to serve his country. He was raised 
in a proud, patriotic family with a mom and dad who served in the Army 
and a brother who would also go on to serve. For Cade, serving in 
uniform wasn't just a calling. It was a family tradition.
  After he graduated from Mankato East High School, Cade enlisted in 
the Army as a helicopter repairman before going on to serve in Army 
Special Operations Forces, providing helicopter support.
  Cade died doing what he loved, serving the country that he loved with 
fellow soldiers that he loved. He was truly one of southern Minnesota's 
bravest heroes.
  Last Friday's accident is a sobering reminder to all of us that our 
servicemen and -women put their lives on the line every day to keep us 
safe.
  While Cade's remains have yet to be recovered, I am continuing to 
pray for his wife, Danielle, his parents, his brother, and all those 
across Minnesota's First District who knew and loved Sergeant Wolfe.
  Mr. Speaker, his sacrifice will never be forgotten.
