  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a 
courageous gentleman, Sergeant Eric Henry, Mississippi State Trooper. 
Eric has shown what can be done through ambition, tenacity and a desire 
to serve others.
  Sergeant Eric Henry is a part of the 412th Engineer Tech located in 
Vicksburg, Mississippi. Sergeant Henry's civilian works has been with 
several law enforcement agencies. In 2007, he became a Mississippi 
State Trooper. He is stationed at the Jackson Troop C Station located 
in Pearl.
  Sergeant Henry began his military services in December 1998. After 
enlisting, he was sent to Ft. Sill in Oklahoma for basic training. 
Basic training was followed by an assignment to AIT at Ft. Lenard Wood 
in Missouri where he was trained to be a construction engineer and 
heavy equipment operator. Sgt. Henry has served two tours in Iraq, in 
2003 and 2011.
  Sgt. Henry's experience has given him a great love and respect for 
the military and law enforcement.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Sergeant 
Eric Henry for his passion and dedication to serving our great Country, 
the State of Mississippi, his community and desire to make a difference 
in the lives of others.
