             REMEMBERING SAN DIEGO VICTIMS OF LIBYA ATTACK

  (Mrs. DAVIS of California asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. DAVIS of California. Mr. Speaker, San Diegans are very sad today 
because they learned yesterday that two

of the Libya victims were from the San Diego area. As we know, they 
were killed in the consulate in Benghazi, protecting fellow Americans 
there with Ambassador Chris Stevens and Sean Smith.
  The two victims from San Diego were Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty. In 
talking about Mr. Doherty, a friend said:

       You never take off your uniform. You hang it in the closet, 
     but everything that went along with it is still there. All 
     the training and the dedication that you have to your Nation 
     is what drives these guys.

  And also for Tyrone Woods, a friend said:

       If there were more people like him, the country would be in 
     much better shape. We need people to keep doing what he was 
     doing because he really believed in freedom, and he really 
     believed in the United States.

  As we know, these were two highly decorated military SEALs who had 
left the community of SEALs and were serving with the consulate there 
and with the State Department in Libya. We certainly celebrate their 
life and we mourn their death. I want to recognize their families and 
let them know that our thoughts and our prayers are with them.
