week after an IED attack in Afghanistan in Helmand province.
  As we grieve the loss of one of our finest citizens who loved being a 
marine and share our grief with his widow, Ashley, and his family, we 
really marvel that such heroes have been able to live among us. He gave 
up everything to protect his neighbors and extend the blessings of 
freedom to millions who have never known it. He was proud of his 
country and of the marines that he served with.
  Mr. Speaker, in honor of Lance Corporal Greniger, we need to 
regularly thank our servicemen and -women and pray for their safe 
return each and every day.
  We honor the service and the memory of Lance Corporal Greniger and 
commit ourselves to follow his example of patriotic duty, honor, and 
sacrifice in our daily walk as Americans.
  Semper Fi, Lance Corporal.
