                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JOHN L. MICA

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 14, 2006

  Mr. MICA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and pay tribute to Chief 
Warrant Officer 3 Timothy Ray Breneman, 36, who died while serving our 
Nation in Germany.
  Prior to joining the Army, Timothy spent his childhood living in 
Ormond Beach, Florida where he was active at Christ Presbyterian 
Church. Timothy graduated from Mainland High School and attended 
Daytona Beach Community College where he studied art and photography.
  In 1994, Timothy enlisted to become an Army Ranger. He was later 
assigned to the 1st Armored Division's 12th Combat Aviation Brigade at 
Illesheim Army Field in Germany where he became a senior instructor 
pilot. His colleagues remember him for his skill and professional 
demeanor. His family recalls his wonderful sense of humor and one who 
took pride in his service.
  We should all remember Timothy's courage and his ultimate sacrifice 
for our Nation. The freedom we enjoy and the liberty in the world for 
which he fought are part of the great legacy that Chief Warrant Officer 
Timothy Ray Breneman leaves behind. He is buried at Arlington National 
Cemetery.
  We must recognize that Timothy's widow, Teresa, is also a 
distinguished member of our U.S. military where she serves as a Judge 
Advocate General officer in Germany.
  To Timothy's wife, Teresa; his parents, Ray and Flo; and his entire 
family, we extend our deepest sympathy.
  Mr. Speaker, because of Chief Warrant Officer 3 Timothy Ray 
Breneman's sacrifice for our country, I ask all Members of the U.S. 
House of Representatives to join me in recognizing his service in our 
Nation's Armed Forces and remembering both his life and his dedication 
to the United States of America.
