           TRIBUTE TO THE MARINES OF BULK FUEL COMPANY BRAVO

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. MICHAEL N. CASTLE

                              of delaware

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 28, 2006

  Mr. CASTLE. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I rise today 
to pay tribute to the five returning Marines of Bulk Fuel Company 
Bravo, based in Wilmington, Delaware. During the past seven months, the 
five Marines of Bulk Fuel Company Bravo answered the call to duty in a 
highly volatile and dangerous region of Iraq. Their efforts contributed 
to the safety and security of an emerging democracy and our own great 
nation. With this sacrifice they have inspired others--including their 
family, friends, and neighbors.
  As Americans, we are mindful of what we have lost, but we are deeply 
grateful for all that cannot be destroyed. It is Marines like those of 
Bulk Fuel Company Bravo who sustain and invigorate the timeless values, 
principles, and extraordinary character that define our great nation.
  Today, I am just one of many Delawareans who would like to take this 
opportunity to say a sincere thank you to them for their service and 
sacrifice on our behalf. When they were needed, they answered their 
country's call, proving once again that extraordinary individuals live 
within each generation of Americans.
