 MOMENT OF SILENCE IN HONOR OF THE MARINES WHO LOST THEIR LIVES ON MAY 
                           12, 2015, IN NEPAL

  (Mr. MICA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. MICA. Mr. Speaker, I rise tonight to pay tribute to six United 
States Marines who lost their lives on May 12, 2015. They died not in 
combat but in a mission of mercy, aiding the people of Nepal, who, as 
we have read, have been devastated by a horrific and deadly earthquake.
  I would like to at this time yield to their Members of Congress to 
recognize each of the Marines who sacrificed their lives.
  First, I yield to the gentleman from Kansas (Mr. Pompeo).
  Mr. POMPEO. Captain Christopher Lee Norgren, Wichita, Kansas, Kansas' 
Fourth Congressional District.
  Mr. MICA. I yield to the gentleman from Nebraska (Mr. Smith).
  Mr. SMITH of Nebraska. Captain Dustin Ryan Lukasiewicz, Alma, 
Nebraska, Nebraska's Third Congressional District.
  Mr. MICA. I yield to the gentleman from California (Mr. Calvert).
  Mr. CALVERT. Sergeant Eric Matthew Seaman, United States Marine 
Corps, Wildomar, California, California's 42nd Congressional District.
  Mr. MICA. I yield to the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Foster).
  Mr. FOSTER. Corporal Sara Abigail Medina, Aurora, Illinois, Illinois' 
11th Congressional District.
  Mr. MICA. I yield to the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Franks).
  Mr. FRANKS of Arizona. Lance Corporal Jacob Andrew Hug, Phoenix, 
Arizona, Arizona's Eighth Congressional District.
  Mr. MICA. Mr. Speaker, I will now read the name of the brave Marine 
from my district:
  Sergeant Ward Mark Johnson IV, Altamonte Springs, Florida, Florida's 
Seventh Congressional District.
  Mr. Speaker, greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down 
his life for his fellow man.
  We, the Members who represent those brave Marines, ask you to join us 
in a moment of silence. And we also ask, as we approach this Memorial 
Day, that we remember in our thoughts and in our prayers all those 
brave Americans and their families who have paid the ultimate price in 
service to our Nation.
