                        Thursday, June 15, 2017

  Mr. KELLY of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, today I rise in memory of Army 
Sergeant (SGT) Terrance Delan Lee Sr. who paid the ultimate sacrifice 
while defending our nation on June 11, 2005, during Operation Iraqi 
Freedom. SGT Lee was killed when his armored personnel carrier was hit 
by an improvised explosive device in Owesat Village, Iraq. Staff 
Sergeant (SSG) Larry Richard Arnold Sr. was also killed.
  SGT Lee was assigned to the 150th Combat Engineer Battalion, 155th 
Brigade Combat Team, Mississippi Army National Guard, Lucedale, 
Mississippi. The 150th is part of the 155th Brigade Combat Team which 
is known as ``Dixie Thunder''. SGT Lee joined the Mississippi Army 
National Guard in 2003.
  According to the Associated Press, 250 people gathered for SGT Lee's 
funeral at First Missionary Baptist Church. Reverend James E. Powell of 
Solomon Temple AME Zion Church in Moss Point was his pastor. In the 
eulogy, Rev. Powell quoted Psalm 23 which describes God as a shepherd 
and man as the flock. Rev. Powell said that SGT Lee understood what 
that meant and that he knew Jesus Christ was his personal savior.
  SGT Lee is survived by his parents, Dedrick and Dinah Lee; siblings, 
LaDarrius Lee and Demetrice Jones; and children, Terrence Junior, 
Ra'Mone, and Marchelle Elyse Lee.
  SGT Lee's sacrifice for our freedoms will always be remembered.
