                      Thursday, September 7, 2006

  Mr. SESSIONS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory of Army 
Sergeant Jeffrey Scott Brown, an American hero who gave his life in 
defense of liberty and freedom. He made the ultimate sacrifice so that 
others might know freedom, and I am humbled by his bravery and 
selflessness.
  Sergeant Brown lost his life on August 10, 2006 due to injuries 
sustained when his UH-

60 Blackhawk helicopter crashed in Rutbah, Iraq during combat 
operations in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. He was 25 years old. 
Sergeant Brown was assigned to the 82nd Medical Company at Fort Riley, 
Kansas.
  Sergeant Brown came from a family dedicated to American ideals and 
serving this great Nation. His father is a Vietnam veteran and his 
brother, Timothy, currently serves as a crew chief on an Apache 
helicopter in Germany. Sergeant Brown is survived by his wife, Ashley, 
of Carrollton, Texas; his parents, Ed and Diane Brown of Trinity 
Center, California; his brothers, Timothy and Michael; and his sister, 
Kathryn.
  I extend my sincerest condolences to the family and friends of 
Sergeant Brown. He leaves behind a legacy marked by courage, integrity 
and character. May God bless all those he loved, and may they know the 
gratitude of the American people.
