dedication, and devotion to duty; and |

|
|
Sergeant Howard and to all of the country's military personnel, for |

they render service and sacrifice that is truly beyond measure; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Sergeant Howard embodies the highest ideals of the |

|
|
service to his country and extend to him sincere best wishes for the |
