              HONORING THE LIFE OF ENRIQUE ROMAN-MARTINEZ

  (Mrs. TORRES of California asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. TORRES of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of the 
life and memory of Enrique Roman-Martinez.
  This year marks the sixth anniversary of his violent death. For 6 
long years, Enrique's family has carried unimaginable pain while 
continuing to fight for answers and justice.
  To his family, Enrique was known for his kindness, integrity, and 
commitment to serving our country in uniform. He deserved the 
opportunity to come home to his loved ones. Instead, his family was 
left mourning, devastated by the loss, and searching for justice.
  As we celebrate Memorial Day and honor those who served our Nation, 
we must also remember our responsibility to all of our servicemembers 
and their families.
  Today, I stand with Enrique's mother, sisters, loved ones, and 
everyone who continues demanding accountability in his case. We owe 
them answers, transparency, action, and closure.
  Enrique's memory will continue to live on through those who loved him 
and through all of us who refuse to let his story fade.
  I urge witnesses to come forward. His murderer needs to be convicted 
and held responsible for his death.
