Hoosier Soldier Honored In Congressional Record

Last updated on Wednesday, October 25, 2006

(WASHINGTON, D.C.) - Senator Evan Bayh has inserted the name of a Hoosier soldier killed in Iraq into the congressional record.

Marvin Trost, III, died when an explosive device exploded near the vehicle in which he was riding.

Bayh says the honor is reserved for people who have shown exemplary patriotism, including astronauts killed in action and the victims of the World Trade Center attacks.

One of Bayh's assistants delivered a framed copy of the record to Trost's family this week.
