                           HON. JOHN H. ADLER

                      Tuesday, September 14, 2010

  Mr. ADLER of New Jersey. Madam Speaker, I would like to take this 
opportunity to recognize a constituent and a true American hero.
  United States Army Specialist Maurice Russell Anderson, from 
Willingboro, New Jersey, recently returned home from combat on August 
28th, 2010. While assigned to the 1st Squadron 89th Cavalry based in 
Fort Drum, New York, Specialist Anderson was deployed to Iraq to 
support Operation Iraqi Freedom. Along with his fellow unit members, he 
served with honor to protect our nation. Specialist Anderson was shot 
and wounded in combat while conducting intelligence, surveillance, and 
reconnaissance operations.
  Specialist Anderson's devotion to his country during his combat time 
in Iraq is an example of true patriotism. I want to take this time to 
recognize his unwavering dedication to our nation and, on behalf of the 
United States Congress, thank him for his selfless service on the 
frontlines in Iraq and for his honorable contributions to our country.
