        HONORING THE LIFE OF SPC KASPER ALAN CAMACHO DUDKIEWICZ

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. MADELEINE Z. BORDALLO

                                of guam

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 1, 2006

  Ms. BORDALLO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today with the solemn charge of 
paying tribute to SPC Kasper Alan Camacho Dudkiewicz, 22, U.S. Army, of 
Guam. SPC Dudkiewicz was Killed in Action on January 15, 2006, in 
Mosul, Iraq. The United States and the U.S. Army have lost a proud and 
able soldier, and Guam and a loving family have lost a son, brother, 
and husband.
  SPC Dudkiewicz was assigned to the 511th Military Police Company, 
91st Military Police Battalion, 10th Mountain Division, Fort Drum, New 
York. He was dedicated to the mission in Iraq and he personified his 
unit's motto: ``strike fear.'' SPC Dudkiewicz is one of three 
Dudkiewicz brothers to serve in Iraq, continuing Guam's strong 
commitment to service in the United States military. SPC Dudkiewicz was 
posthumously promoted from Private First Class to Specialist in 
recognition of his distinguished service.
  My thoughts and prayers are with the Dudkiewicz and Camacho families 
during this time of loss. SPC Dudkiewicz is survived by his wife Katie, 
who is a soldier serving in Korea, and their sons, Alexander W. Parker 
and Zane Nicolas BIas Cruz. Additionally, SPC Dudkiewicz is survived by 
his parents, Kasper Dudkiewicz and Maria Margaret Crisostomo Camacho 
and his stepmother Connie Fergurgur Dudkiewicz. SPC Dudkiewicz' 
brothers and sisters, Kevin and Ty, Korey, Kollin, Kris, Kurt, Corina, 
Jereco, Elijah, and Regina and Jeremy also cherish his memory. My 
deepest sympathies are with them during this difficult time. I join 
them in mourning his loss.
  SPC Dudkiewicz now joins the honored company of other fallen heroes 
who have put the ideals of duty, honor, and country before themselves 
and made the ultimate sacrifice. It is my hope that SPC Dudkiewicz' 
commitment to creating a bright future for his children, his devotion 
to his wife, and his dedication to his parents and siblings will remain 
strong and guiding influences from which his family, friends, and 
neighbors can draw strength for years to come.
  The people of Guam take this time to extend to the Dudkiewicz and 
Camacho families their most heartfelt wishes of hope during this 
difficult time. We take this time to reflect upon the sacrifices made 
by the men and women like SPC Dudkiewicz who shoulder the 
responsibility of protecting our homeland, our families and the 
American way of life. The debt of gratitude we owe to these 
individuals, although un-payable, is worthy of our most sincere 
appreciation. God bless our men and women in uniform and God bless 
America.
