                     HONORING BRAVE SERVICEMEMBERS

  (Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, far too many Vietnam 
servicemembers return home without the honor and recognition their 
sacrifice deserved.
  As Memorial Day nears, we remember brave servicemembers from eastern 
North Carolina who made the ultimate sacrifice, such as:
  Lieutenant Eric Parker Brice of Rocky Mount was a Navy pilot flying 
dangerous combat missions over Vietnam. On June 4, 1968, he went down 
after his F-4 Phantom II was struck by enemy fire.
  Army Sergeant Willie Farmer, Jr., of Pinetops, was only 21 years old 
when his life was tragically cut short after being struck by fragments 
from a downed helicopter rotor blade during combat operations on 
September 29, 1967.
  Mr. Speaker, the stories of Lieutenant Brice and Sergeant Farmer 
reflect enormous sacrifice. We must always honor and remember our 
Nation's heroes.
