HONORING THOMAS HARPER
______
HON. ANDY KIM
of new jersey
in the house of representatives
Tuesday, July 6, 2021
Mr. KIM of New Jersey. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Thomas A. Harper.
Mr. Harper proudly served his country during the Korea War and embodies the resilience and fortitude of the great men and women who serve in our Nation's military. During his time in the U.S. Army, Mr. Harper gained the role of Sergeant First Class, served in the Battle of Pork Chop Hill and was awarded two Purple Hearts. For Mr. Harper's valor and service in the Battle of Pork Chop Hill, Gregory Peck, an actor in the movie, Pork Chip Hill, met with Mr. Harper to conduct research for his role.
I would like to formally thank Mr. Harper for his service to the United States of America.
