                                 ______
                                 

                               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 Private 1st Class Andrew D. 
Stevens of Stratham, New Hampshire. He bravely served the Army's 10th 
Mountain Division supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom and earned his 
Expert Infantry Badge. Pfc. Stevens made the ultimate sacrifice in 
service to his country when the Blackhawk helicopter he was riding in 
tragically crashed during a training accident at the Fort Drum, New 
York on March 11, 2003.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Private 1st Class Andrew 
D. Stevens 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.
