              HONORING SERGEANT FIRST CLASS JUAN SANTIAGO

  (Mr. HARIDOPOLOS asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HARIDOPOLOS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor 
Sergeant First Class Juan Santiago, a decorated veteran and American 
patriot residing in Melbourne, Florida.
  Sergeant Santiago began his career in 1958 in the United States Army 
at Fort Buchanan and completed basic training at Fort Jackson, South 
Carolina. He went on to serve our Nation with distinction around the 
globe with deployments in Cuba, Italy, Germany, and five tours in 
Vietnam.
  His exceptional service earned him a place in the Florida Veterans' 
Hall of Fame as well as many other numerous honors, including the 
Honorable Order of St. Michael and two Purple Hearts.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of a grateful Nation, we thank Sergeant 
Santiago for his bravery.
