             HONORING BRIGADIER GENERAL HERBERT JACK LLOYD

  (Mr. WESTERMAN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WESTERMAN. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor an American patriot 
and hero. On December 10, 2015, Brigadier General Herbert Jack Lloyd 
was called home to be with his Savior, away from the war and strife he 
knew most all of his adult life.
  General Lloyd served 35 years in the United States Army, moving from 
private to brigadier general, commanding at entry level from squad 
leader to assistant division commander. On July 16, 2014, General Lloyd 
was inducted into the Army Ranger Hall of Fame. Brigadier General Lloyd 
has received numerous decorations throughout his service, including 
three combat jumps with the 6th Vietnamese Parachute Battalion, two 
Silver Stars, seven Bronze Stars, and two Purple Hearts.
  Mr. Speaker, though I could expound on the godly, courageous, and 
patriotic life lived by General Lloyd, I will simply read a sentence 
from the General's obituary that he wrote himself: ``If there is 
nothing worth dying for--in this sense--there is nothing worth living 
for.'' I believe this speaks directly to who General Lloyd was as a 
man. He lived his life in complete service to God, country, and family.
  I offer my most heartfelt condolences to his son, Mark; daughter-in-
law, Beth; and his grandchildren, Hannah and Matthew. May the general's 
example and memories continue to live on in Hope, Arkansas, and around 
the world.
