COMMEMORATING THE LIFE OF SERGEANT FIRST CLASS DONALD KEITH STRICKLAND
(Mr. LaMALFA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. LaMALFA. Madam Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the life of Sergeant First Class Donald Keith Strickland. Donald passed away recently after a long life of service to his country, his fellow Americans, and his family.
Standing with me today is my good friend, Representative Alex Mooney of West Virginia. We are both dear friends of Donald's son, Tony Strickland, who I served in the legislature with and who has a long relationship with this great person here.
What you see in a legacy with a man like Donald, who was an Army staff sergeant, also known as a drill sergeant--which, by the way, the family home was known as ``strict land'' because it was very strict there due to that background. The legacy shows the great family that we know with Tony and his kids and all the wonderful grandchildren that Mr. Donald Strickland had.
He is survived by his wife, Antonie; his three children; and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
The legacy of how we are measured is truly in your family and what you leave behind as you touch your country.
For our dear friend Tony, our hearts are with you in the loss of your father, and God bless you all.
