  Mr. HUNTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Henry Jackson, my 
friend and fellow paratrooper in the 173rd Airborne Brigade, who passed 
away last month due to cancer at the young age of 66. Henry was the 
consummate soldier and retired from the United States Army after 
achieving the rank of E-7. Even after retirement, he continued to serve 
his country, working as a civilian security officer on the Naval base 
near his home in New Orleans.
  He was immensely proud of his family and had five sons who followed 
his footsteps by serving in the military. Henry died with dignity in 
the Veterans Hospital on July 6, 2004. He leaves behind a beautiful 
family as well as his legacy that will help keep our country strong.
