                      Saturday, November 20, 2004

  Mr. CHANDLER. Mr Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Corporal 
Nicholas J. Dieruf. On April 8, 2004, Corporal Dieruf made the ultimate 
sacrifice for his country while serving in Iraq. The work of our young 
men and women in the armed services is vital for the safety and 
security of our nation. The death of Corporal Dieruf is a true loss to 
the United States.

I salute his dedication while serving in the 1st Light Armored 
Reconnaissance Battalion, a unit in the 1st Marine Division. My 
thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Emily Duncan Dieruf, his 
parents, and all those who loved him.
