                           HON. ROBERT W. NEY

  Mr. NEY. Mr. Speaker, I hereby offer my heartfelt condolences to the 
family, friends, and community of Staff Sgt. James William Harlan upon 
the death of this outstanding soldier.
  Staff Sgt. Harlan was a member of the U.S. Army Reserves 660th 
Transportation Company serving his great nation in the country of Iraq. 
He was a leader in his unit and a loving father to his son. Staff Sgt. 
Harlan was an active citizen in his community and did his best to make 
his country a better place to live.
  Staff Sgt. Harlan will be remembered for his unsurpassed sacrifice of 
self while protecting others. His example of strength and fortitude 
will be remembered by all those who knew him.
  While words cannot express our grief during the loss of such a 
courageous soldier, I offer this token of profound sympathy to the 
family, friends, and colleagues of Staff Sgt. James William Harlan.
