I rise today to reflect upon the service and life of a great American, Specialist Richard A. Hardy, who was killed in action while fulfilling his duty to the United States of America. Specialist Hardy was born in Timken, OH, and last resided in Newcomerstown, OH. He was assigned to A Company, 2nd Battalion, 69th Armor Regiment, 3rd Infantry Division, out of Fort Benning, GA. Specialist Hardy gave the last full measure of devotion to his country in Ar Ramadi, Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Madam Speaker, Specialist Hardy represents the best that America has to offer. I want to give my heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Specialist Hardy. His sacrifice will not be forgotten. May God rest his soul. ____________________
