SERGEANT BOB BRYANT AND LUC COUTURE EXEMPLIFY NEW HAMPSHIRE'S COMMUNITY
SPIRIT
(Mr. BASS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Mr. BASS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the New
Hampshire Fish and Game Sergeant Bob Bryant and Luc Couture of the New
Hampshire Department of Transportation and more than 550 friends and
neighbors who searched the woods of Berlin, New Hampshire, through the
early morning hours on May 25 to find 3-year-old Cameron Patry.
Sergeant Bryant and Mr. Couture found the young boy after he had been
lost for more than 20 cold and rainy hours in the dense woods. These 2
State of New Hampshire employees, along with hundreds of volunteers who
helped with the search, best exemplify our community's spirit,
camaraderie, compassion in New Hampshire and all of America. Although
cold, wet and tired, young Cameron was found in good shape and returned
to his worried parents.
To Sergeant Bryant, Mr. Couture and all those who gave their time,
prayers and comfort to the Patry family I would like to express my
sincere appreciation, as does the grateful State of New Hampshire and
Congress.
