       A PROCLAMATION IN MEMORY OF STAFF SERGEANT SHAMUS O. GOARE

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. ROBERT W. NEY

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 19, 2005

  Mr. NEY. Mr. Speaker, I hereby offer my heartfelt condolences to the 
family, friends, and the residents of Danville of Staff Sgt. Shamus O. 
Goare upon the death of this outstanding soldier.
  Staff Sgt. Goare was a member of the United States Army B Company, 
3rd Battalion, 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment stationed at 
Hunter Army Airfield in Georgia. He was serving his great nation in the 
country of Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
  Staff Sgt. Goare, at 29, was an active citizen in his community and 
did his best to make his country a better place to live. Staff Sgt. 
Goare's courage and selflessness to his country was displayed even as 
his helicopter came under attack on June 28, 2005.
  Staff Sgt. Goare 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. Shamus O. Goare.
