                           HON. ROBERT W. NEY

                      Thursday, September 8, 2005

  Mr. NEY. Mr. Speaker, I hereby offer my heartfelt condolences to the 
family, friends, and community of Nathaniel Rock upon the death of this 
outstanding Marine.
  Nathaniel Rock was a member of the United States Marine Corps serving 
his great nation in the country of Iraq. He was a loving son to his 
parents, and a caring brother to Jared Rock with whom he served with as 
a Martins Ferry police officer. Nathaniel Rock was an active citizen in 
his community and did his best to make his country a better place to 
live.
  Nathaniel Rock 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 Marine, I offer this token of profound sympathy to the 
family, friends, and colleagues of Nathaniel Rock. Your service has 
made us proud.

                          ____________________
