                   HONORING SERGEANT BRIAN D. STINGER

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. ROBERT E. ANDREWS

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, June 12, 2006

  Mr. ANDREWS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor West Deptford, New 
Jersey resident and United States Marine Corps Sergeant Brian D. 
Stinger for his outstanding service and heroic action while stationed 
in Japan.
  Sergeant Stinger recently received the Navy and Marine Corps 
Achievement Medal for saving the life of a Japanese man who caught fire 
while filling a generator with gas. At great risk to his personal 
safety, Sergeant Stinger retrieved a fire extinguisher and put out the 
fire. His heroic efforts saved this man's life.
  Mr. Speaker, the actions of Brian Stinger prove that our military 
service members perform acts of heroism, on and off the battlefield, 
every day. I applaud his brave and selfless act, and I thank him for 
his service to our Nation. I wish him all the best in his future 
endeavors.
