            IN MEMORY OF STAFF SERGEANT JAMES DAVID BULLARD

                            HON. JOE WILSON

                           of south carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, November 5, 2007

  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, I rise today to remember 
the life of Staff Sergeant James Bullard of South Carolina. Staff 
Sergeant Bullard was killed last week while serving with the South 
Carolina Army National Guard's 218th Brigade in Afghanistan.
  Staff Sergeant Bullard is the second member of the 218th to lose his 
life serving during Operation Enduring Freedom. As a former member of 
the 218th brigade I wish to recognize the ultimate sacrifice made by 
Staff Sergeant Bullard and express my deepest condolences on behalf of 
the House of Representatives and my family to his wife, Amber, his son, 
his parents and family, friends, and fellow soldiers. Our thoughts and 
prayers are with all of you during this difficult time.
  Just like the millions of brave men and women who served our country 
in uniform, Staff Sergeant Bullard was a true patriot who fought to 
defend our freedoms and to protect American families. We are forever 
grateful for his sacrifice and that of our military men and women 
around the world.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September 11th.
