                HONORING THE LIFE OF NICKY DANIEL BACON

  (Mr. SNYDER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. SNYDER. With the death of Nick Bacon from cancer, Arkansas and 
America have lost a hero, a Vietnam veteran and Army retiree, and a 
Medal of Honor winner. Yet for those of us who knew Nick, mostly we 
have lost a friend.
  Advocacy for veterans was his life's work: touching the lives of 
military families by helping them with a problem; touching the life of 
Arkansas by participating in so many public events honoring our 
military.
  The last time I talked with Nick he was working on some end-of-life 
financial issues, but in his matter of fact blunt way he said, But 
other than that I'm good to go. But other than that I'm good to go.
  Nick Bacon is now gone, and we will miss him. Our condolences and 
gratitude go to his wife, Tamera, his six children, his grandchildren, 
and his brothers and sisters.
