Speaker. even though the United States has gained new international stature as a result of President Fords handling of the Mayaguez incident. we should not forget the brave young men who made this success possible. One of the casualties in this action was Marine Pvt. Gregory Copenhaver. 19. of Rising Sun. Md. Private Copenhaver had previously assisted in evacuating refugees from Saigon and had been a member of the Marine Corps since last summer. It is always tragic when a life so young is ended. but Private Copenhaver gave his life for his country just as much as any soldier or sailor who died in the battles of other wars. I include at this point an article from the Record of Havre de Grace.
