                HONORING ARMY SPECIALIST TERRY J. HURNE

  (Mr. COSTA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COSTA. Madam Speaker, it is with a heavy heart that I rise today 
in honor of the life of Terry J. Hurne, United States Army Specialist, 
who died on June 9, 2014. Terry made the ultimate sacrifice while 
serving the United States in the Logar province of Afghanistan in 
support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
  Specialist Hurne was raised in Atwater, California, graduated from 
Atwater High School, and joined the military in 2007. During his time 
in the Army, Terry served two tours in Afghanistan, and for the past 5 
years, he served as a generator mechanic and a builder. He was assigned 
to Company B, 710 Brigade Support Battalion, 10th Mountain Division, 
stationed in Fort Drum, New York.
  His family and friends will hold memories of Terry in their hearts 
forever. His smile, his laughter, his kindness to everyone will never, 
ever be forgotten; his fondness for sports, and a big lover of animals, 
especially his dog Trinity. He will be remembered as a hero who fought 
for our freedoms.
  Terry is survived by his wife, Natalie, as well as his father, his 
mother, stepmother, three sisters, and a brother.
  It is with great respect that I ask my colleagues in the U.S. House 
of Representatives to honor the life of our fallen soldier, Army 
Specialist Terry Hurne, an American patriot who did extraordinary 
things.
  God bless him.
