                             FALLEN HEROES

                                 ______
                                 

                               speech of

                          HON. CHARLES F. BASS

                            of new hampshire

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 20, 2004

  Mr. BASS. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Sergeant William John Tracy, 
Jr. of Webster, New Hampshire. He bravely served the Army's Company B, 
5-158th Aviation, supporting Operation Enduring Freedom. Sgt. Tracy 
made the ultimate sacrifice to protect his country and aid the Afghani 
people when his Blackhawk helicopter tragically crashed in Kuwait on 
February 25, 2003.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Sergeant William John 
Tracy, Jr. and our other service men and women who have courageously 
given their own lives in order to protect and defend the democracy we 
enjoy in America and to extend the freedoms that come with democracy to 
those who live in fear and oppression worldwide.
