  Mr. HAYWORTH. Mr. Speaker, on May 27, 2005 a courageous and 
distinguished Marine will be laid to rest in Arlington National 
Cemetery. Major Eddie Whitehead, a respected Vietnam veteran who 
proudly served his country in the United States Marine Corps for 28 
years, will be laid to rest today among other great American heroes at 
Arlington National Cemetery. On February 25, 2005 Major Whitehead lost 
his battle with cancer, and all who knew and loved him will miss him, 
including his wife Bonnie, son Eddie Jr., daughters MitziLynn Keegan 
and Christian Thijm, sister Mitzi Datres, and grandchildren Derek and 
Casey Jene. Let us pause to remember him and thank an American hero.
