On the recordSeptember 28, 2006
Mr. Speaker, Major George Quamo was the youngest member of the Special Forces Unit during the Vietnam War. He was the leader of three reconnaissance teams while serving in Vietnam and was responsible for the safe return of 14 men whose lives would have otherwise been lost. Throughout his career, the major was awarded 26 medals, including the Distinguished Service Cross and two Silver Stars. He was killed at the very young age of 27 when the helicopter he was flying in went down. I urge all Members to join me in honoring Major Quamo for his remarkable life and service to the United States. Without the courage, dedication, and talent of soldiers like him, our country would not be what it is today.
