                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 3, 2008

  Mr. CANTOR. Madam Speaker, I submit the following:

     T4 . . . .
     The next generation!
     As great as any others who have come before!

     An Army Man . . .
     Who, with but his great heart here now so stands!
     Part Titanium, Part Man . . . The New Prototype, of an Army 
           Man!

     Who's Tours DeForce . . .
     All in his life's force, with his tours of duty while all out 
           on death's course . . .
     A Freedom Fighter, the kind our hearts and souls so here 
           ignite here . . . with all of his great life's force!

     Special Forces . . .
     And 107th Cav, those great men of honor who freedom so 
           enforce this!
     With great acts of daring and might, with all of their most 
           superhuman feats . . . are but freedom's voice!

     Where do you go?
     When your face and body, have been blown and shattered here 
           so?
     How do you rebuild with no back left still? For it's all 
           found so deep down inside, in what a heart can will!

     Piece by Piece, as this T Man has grown . . .
     Day by Day, Hour by Hour . . . as all have so found out what 
           his soul can shower! As he stands alone!
     To find the courage on battlefields of honor, in operation 
           rooms he towers! All in courage's finest hour!

     Eggleston, a doctor's son . . .
     A sure fine one, as is this America's Son . . . Terminating 
           evil this one!
     A Virginian who so shines, for all of us so in time . . . as 
           we watch his heart . . . his fire . . . burn like The 
           Sun!

     For all of those who go off to war . . .
     Are but the greatest of all Americans so sure, who for us all 
           . . . our very freedom do so insure!
     For all that we have, all in this land of the free . . . is 
           but bought and paid for, by all these fine heroes sure!

     The people who hate war the most!
     Are but all of those Magnificent Brave Heart's, who must face 
           death . . . and lose their comrades close!
     And leave their loved ones behind in tears, with sleepless 
           nights here . . . all so that we can have the most!

     In life, all is possible in what you feel . . .
     All in what you so stand for, your ideals . . . deep down 
           inside ones heart so real . . .
     That let's you go off to war, to face heartache and death . . 
           . and evil to endure and rebuild, and not yield!

     Like T4 . . .
     Bodies can grow and rebuild, with but hard work, courage and 
           iron wills . . . with titanium and more . . .
     But, without a heart . . . one can not so live and endure . . 
           . only with, these special forces within like T4!

     Dedicated to Charles Eggleston.
     Grew up in Richmond, Va. E6 Staff Sergeant Special Forces and 
           107th Cav.
     He was injured in Mousal, Iraq, in an IED blast. Legs, back 
           and face reconstructed with titanium.
