                              CARL SITTER

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 12, 2000

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I wanted to ask that we all pause a moment 
to remember a true American hero, Mr. Carl Sitter. Though he is gone, 
he will live on in the hearts of all who knew him and be remembered for 
long years by many who didn't.
  During the Koren War, Sitter fought for our country while he served 
in the Marine Corps. His relentless effort and valiant leadership led 
to a succesful defeat of the Korean Army. Mr. Sitter's bravery as a 
Captain in the Korean War led to him becoming the first of Pueblo's 
four Medal of Honor recipients. Despite grenade burns to his face, arms 
and chest, Mr. Sitter kept his position during the two day battle at 
Hagaru-Ki, in November 1950.

  As you can see, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Sitter was a model American, 
embodying patriotism, strength, gentleness and service throughout his 
lifetime. Carl will be missed by all of us. Hopefully, we can learn 
from the example that Carl Sitter has set.
