                                 ______
                                 

                               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 Master Sergeant Richard Lee 
Ferguson of Conway, New Hampshire. He bravely served the Army's 10th 
Special Forces Group supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom. Master Sgt. 
Ferguson made the ultimate sacrifice to protect his country and aid the 
Iraqi people when the military vehicle he was riding in tragically 
rolled over in Somara, Iraq on March 30, 2004.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Master Sergeant Richard 
Lee Ferguson and our other servicemen 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.
