 MOMENT OF SILENCE IN MEMORY OF LANCE CORPORAL ALBERT A. AGUILERA AND 
                   LANCE CORPORAL MARCELINO M. GAMINO

  (Mr. TAKANO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. TAKANO. Mr. Speaker, we gather on the floor of the House of 
Representatives to pay tribute to two United States marines who died in 
service to our Nation. Lance Corporal Albert A. Aguilera of Riverside 
and Lance Corporal Marcelino M. Gamino of Fresno were both killed in a 
tragic vehicle accident while on deployment as part of Joint Task 
Force-Southern Border.
  Both were combat engineers with the 1st Marine Division at Camp 
Pendleton, and both were far too young to be taken from their families, 
friends, and fellow marines.
  It is a terrible grief that these families now carry, and it is 
incumbent on all of us as a Nation to remember the sacrifice of these 
young men.
  I ask all my colleagues to join us in a moment of silence in memory 
of Lance Corporal Aguilera and Lance Corporal Gamino.
