                       HONORING OUR FALLEN TROOPS

  (Ms. DEAN of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. DEAN of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, Private First Class Isabella 
Gonzales, First Lieutenant Tyler James Feehan, Sergeant Angel 
Rampersad, and Sergeant Michael Emmanuel Swinton.
  Mr. Speaker, it has been 5 months since President Trump started his 
reckless war with Iran, 1 week since these young servicemembers lost 
their lives.
  Isabella, only 19, was graduated from Hebron High School in Texas 
last year. Her friends remember her as outgoing and how she pushed 
herself through boot camp to prove her bravery.
  Angel had a smile her loved ones say lit up every room she entered. 
She had plans to travel the world.
  Tyler, at 25, leaves behind his family and a community at Southern 
Utah University. He was mere weeks away from finishing his MBA.
  Michael leaves behind his wife Mia. In the last photo of Michael, he 
is holding his daughter in his arms before deployment.
  Eighteen American troops are dead, and more than 400 are wounded, all 
in the name of an ill-conceived and ill-begotten war. Dropping more 
bombs on Iran is no way to remember these heroes, and if our President 
won't say their names, I will.
