                         Monday, March 19, 2018

  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, it is with deep respect that I 
recognize the tragic loss of Staff Sgt. Carl Philippe Enis, one of 
seven brave U.S. service members killed in a helicopter crash last 
Thursday, March 15, 2018 in western Iraq.
  Carl, a South Florida native who grew up in my Congressional District 
in Pinecrest, was an Air Force pararescueman serving in a combat role 
in Iraq for the 308th Rescue Squadron from Patrick Air Force Base 
supporting Operation Inherent Resolve when his helicopter went down.
  Sergeant Enis was a Reserve Citizen Airman combat rescue and recovery 
specialist who supported Air Force and special operations.
  Carl's job truly embodied his heart and spirit where he consistently 
put his own life at risk to save others both in combat and humanitarian 
environments.
  He always tackled every challenge with a smile on his face, no matter 
the danger or difficulty.
  Carl was also an active outdoorsman who embraced his passion for 
fishing, hiking, hunting and scuba diving and lived his life to the 
fullest.
  Sergeant Enis was a graduate of Gulliver Prep and Florida State 
University.
  Carl is survived by his wife Angela, his mother Colleen, and his 
brother Edward.
  Their families, the community, and all Americans can be proud knowing 
that Sergeant Enis gave his last full measure performing his mission 
and serving the most noble Pararescue creed: `These things we do, that 
others may live'.
