ORTIZ\n\n                                of texas\n\n                    in the house of representatives\n\n                       Monday, December 20, 2004\n\n  Mr. ORTIZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to a great American\npatriot, U.S. Army CPL Isaac E. Diaz, of Rio Hondo, Texas, who gave the\nlast full measure of devotion to the country he loved and served when\nhe was killed in Afghanistan on December 1, 2004.\n  He served with the 2nd Battalion, 27th Infantry Regiment, 25th\nInfantry Division (Light) from Schofield Barracks, Hawaii. He had been\ndriving military vehicles in the Army for several years.\n  Like so many young people, Corporal Diaz wanted to find a way to go\nto college, so he joined the military in 1998, after graduating from\nRio Hondo High School. Yet, the 26-year-old never enrolled in college.\nHe was killed in Sharona, Afghanistan, when his Humvee rolled over\nwhile on routine patrol in the Paktika province.\n  In a sad--but brave--irony, after Corporal Diaz completed his initial\nthree-year tour of duty at Fort Campbell, KY, he reenlisted for another\nfour years to financially support his wife, Amber, and their infant\nson, Aaron.\n  Those that knew him well in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas spoke of\nhis quiet intensity and his hard-working nature. The Rio High School\nPrincipal, Juan Montez, remembered Corporal Diaz as a studious\nteenager, the sort of student educators enjoyed having in class.\n  He worked hard and didn't complain. He was an excellent soldier. He\nwas serving in the front of this war that is closest to the hiding\nplaces of Osama bin Laden and the al Qaida leaders who plotted the\nattack on this nation on September 11, 2001.\n  Corporal Diaz's service was honorable, as was his life. We all mourn\nthe loss of this young American, whose life was cut short, leaving a\nhole in our hearts and forever altering his young family.\n  I want Corporal Diaz's son, Aaron, who is too young now to understand\nthe depth of his father's sacrifice, to one day appreciate that his\nfather loved this country--and him--enough to go in harm's way to\nprotect our democracy.\n  I ask my colleagues to remember this great patriot, his sacrifice on\nbehalf of all of us, and the family he leaves behind in South Texas.\n\n                          ____________________"]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-2004-12-20-pt1-PgE2204"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 13.261382933706045, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
