Madam Speaker, Corporal Nate Schaming of Ohio, and The United States Army . . . 82nd Airborne Division 1/504 PIR C Co., lost both his legs in an IED explosion in Iraq on 12/01/07. Like many of our heroes who come home from war, he must begin a new battle and a new fight. As we watch him in awe, as he rebuilds his life, with but only his faith and great courage to sustain him . . . Another key part of his recovery, can also be directly attributed to his wonderful mother Pamela who has been there day and night. Any doctor or nurse will tell you that the family members are the true Unsung Heroes in recovery . . . and they are key to it. I ask that this poem penned by Albert Caswell be placed in the Record.
In . . . Nate . . .
Born with it, something so very great!
Inherent, the nature or something . . . belonging to . . . In
Nate, that's what you do!
An Army Man, Who So Can! One of Ohio's, who's who!
A future Hero seen, who from deep down within him . . . such
his greatness would convene!
When courage crests . . . Like John Glenn, Oh Those Most
Heroic Ohio Men . . . But, The Best!
Who lock and load . . .
The ones, who live by the greatest of all honor codes . . .
Who but for us, them and their families . . . bare the load .
. .
Who all in times of war, who with such hearts of courage sure
. . .
Ensure our victory, all out upon death's road!
To lose your once strong two fine young legs!
As upon, them . . . such speed they gave!
While then somehow to rebuild . . . while so close to the
grave!
With but with only lies within a heart, so brave . . .
Surely, but coming from down within . . . coming from Nate!
A man from that Buckeye State . . .
Who has taken all of this pain and heartache . . .
For him, Heaven would have to wait . . .
As with a mother's help so great . . . his new life he
creates!
For God is Good, and God is Great!
All in such men and women of honor, he so creates . . .
All within hearts which will not hesitate, from somewhere
deep down within . . . inside so states!
So states, all about Courage and Faith . . .
Whose fine hearts, are so full of character . . . as so In
Nate . . .
Who Teach Us All, Who Reach Us All . . . Who So Beseech Us
and Do So State!
Of what we are born with . . .
And the kind of courage, we are warmed with . . . that which
so ever lives on which states!
For as we stand here this day and see, what is good . . .
what is great . . .
What is so . . . In Nate!
As now we understand, The Greatest Of All Things . . .
That which our Lord so creates, are but found deep down
within someone like Nate!
And if ever I have a son, I but hope and pray . . . he could
but be like you this one!
In Nate!
