  Mr. MURPHY of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life 
and legacy of Cadet Staff Sergeant Hunter Henry, a young man who passed 
away after being struck by a car while riding his bicycle to school on 
April 2, 2013 in Port St. Lucie, Florida. He is survived by his three 
sisters and his parents Dan and Wendy Henry.
  Cadet Staff Sgt. Hunter Henry was a 16 year old student at Port St. 
Lucie High School. Henry was known as a reserved and polite young man 
who enjoyed fixing things, especially bicycles, which he learned at a 
local store.
  Henry also had a passion for service and helping others. He 
participated in the Jaguar

Battalion--Junior Officer Reserve Training Corps in school and planned 
to enter military service. Additionally, following his mother's 
diagnosis with an autoimmune disorder that left her paralyzed, Hunter 
frequently donated blood and registered to be an organ donor. His 
selflessness has given many individuals across the country another 
chance at life.
  Mr. Speaker, Staff Sgt. Hunter Henry was an outstanding young man who 
was taken far too soon. It is an honor to recognize his life here today 
and extend my thoughts and prayers to his family and friends during 
this most difficult time.
