  Mr. RUNYAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a true American hero, 
Sergeant Leonard ``Bud'' Lomell. Through his courageous actions on D-
day as an Army Ranger, Bud earned a Distinguished Service Cross. Bud's 
brave service was crucial to the success of D-day and left an 
impressive imprint on our Nation's history that was documented in two 
best-selling books: Tom Brokaw's ``The Greatest Generation'' and 
Stephen E. Ambrose's ``The Victors: Eisenhower and His Boys: The Men of 
World War II.''
  Sergeant Lomell passed away on March 1, 2011, at the age of 91, 
leaving his family and our country with a proud legacy of honor and 
service. I am proud and humbled to have been able to call this 
incredible American a constituent. I ask you today to please rise with 
me in honor of Sergeant Leonard ``Bud'' Lomell.
