               TRIBUTE TO ARMY SPECIALIST ADAM FROEHLICH

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. ROBERT E. ANDREWS

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, March 31, 2004

  Mr. ANDREWS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Army 
Specialist Adam Froehlich who was killed while serving our country in 
Baqubah, Iraq on March 25, 2004. He was a member of 2nd Platoon, 
Charlie Battery, 1st Battalion, 6th Field Artillery, a part of the 1st 
Infantry Division and stationed in Bamberg, Germany.
  Specialist Froehlich was a true patriot who, deeply moved by the 
attacks of September 11th, joined the Army after graduating from 
Overbrook High School in Pine Hill, New Jersey. At Overbrook High 
School he was a varsity wrestler. After fulfilling his commitment to 
the Army, Specialist Froehlich planned to use the GI bill to attend 
college and become a gym teacher.
  Specialist Froehlich's love of his country predated his enlistment in 
the Army. His decision to serve his country was a natural path for him 
to take. Even at his young age, he understood the connection between 
the freedom that we all enjoy and the historical sacrifices of those in 
uniform.
  Specialist Froehlich is survived by his parents Stephen and 
Rosemarie, his brothers Steve and Jeff, his sister April and his 
grandfather John, all of South Jersey. He will be laid to rest with 
full military honors on Saturday April 3, 2004 in Berlin, New Jersey.
  I extend my deepest sympathy to the Froehlich family and express my 
immense gratitude for the heroic service of Specialist Adam Froehlich.
