                      Thursday, September 12, 2024

  Mrs. SPARTZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. Jules D. Goudy, a 
native Hoosier, and a World War II veteran whose unique contribution as 
a bugler brought both service and music to the war effort.
  Born in 1925, Mr. Goudy enlisted in the U.S. Army on October 4, 1943, 
in Indianapolis, Indiana, ready to serve his country in a time of great 
need. Assigned as a bugler in the 343rd Regiment, Mr. Goudy played a 
key role in maintaining the morale of his fellow soldiers. The sound of 
his bugle not only communicated critical orders but also brought 
comfort and unity to troops during some of the war's darkest moments.
  Music has always had the power to inspire and heal, and Mr. Goudy's 
service as a bugler did just that. In times of uncertainty and 
hardship, his bugle calls served as a reminder of home, resilience, and 
the camaraderie that bound these men together. Whether signaling the 
start of a new day or honoring the fallen, his music was a source of 
strength and hope.
  Mr. Goudy's enlistment during World War II reflected his dedication 
to both his nation and his fellow soldiers. A high school graduate, Mr. 
Goudy left his civilian life behind to serve for the duration of the 
war and beyond, ensuring that his service did not end until victory was 
secured.
  On behalf of the people of Indiana's 5th District, I thank Mr. Jules 
D. Goudy for his service to our Nation, for the music he brought to the 
battlefield, and for the lasting impact he had on his fellow soldiers. 
His dedication will forever be remembered.
