  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, on June 7, 2017, a 
thoughtful memorial service was conducted by Dr. Carl J. Broggi at 
Arlington National Cemetery for American Hero Larry Sulc.
  The following obituary, published in The Washington Post on February 
12, 2017, clearly identifies his devotion to promoting freedom:
  Lawrence Bradley ``Larry'' Sulc, a former Intelligence Officer and 
founder of the Nathan Hale Foundation, died February I, 2017, in 
Beaufort, SC, due to complications from Alzheimer's disease. The son of 
an electrician who moved his family from New Jersey to the Panama Canal 
Zone during the Great Depression, Larry, and his older brother David 
grew up exploring the jungles of Panama. He was a proud ``Canal Zone 
Boy.'' In 1944, at 17, Larry joined the U.S. Navy and served in WWII in 
the Pacific theater. After graduating from Stanford, he was recruited 
by the CIA and served for 25 years in Latin America, Europe and the Far 
East. Early in his career as an operative, during the Korean War, he 
and future Commandant of the Marine Corps Robert Barrow, trained and 
led Nationalist Chinese guerrillas, conducting raids on the Chinese 
coast and Chinese shipping drawing Communist resources away from our 
boys in the Korean War. After retiring from the agency Larry served 
first in the U.S. House of Representatives on the Foreign Affairs 
Committee staff, then as Executive Director, House Republican Study 
Committee. He was later appointed by President Ronald Reagan as Deputy 
Assistant Secretary, Department of State (Inter-Departmental Affairs, 
Bureau of Intelligence and Research). After leaving public service, he 
consulted on matters of risk assessment, corporate security, 
counterintelligence and counterterrorism. Larry was predeceased by his 
parents and his older brother, David. He is survived by his wife of 33 
years, Jean Luena Mestres Sulc of St. Helena Island, SC and his four 
children from his first marriage to Marian Sulc Scambos of Arlington, 
VA: Bradley Sulc (Carolyn), Wayne Sulc (Lourdes), Katherine Dwyer 
(Terrence) and Brian Sulc, residing in the Washington, DC capitol area. 
He is also survived by his 13 grandchildren, Michael, Brian, Moriah, 
Jackson, Elizabeth, Savanna, Hunter, Maggie, Sierra, Sonora, Stephanie, 
Michelle and Bojan. Remembrances are welcomed and appreciated for

Programs, P.O. Box 119, Beaufort, SC 29901. An inurnment ceremony will
