CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire Sen. Judd Gregg took a moment on the Senate floor to praise a Marine from Manchester who was killed in Afghanistan.

Gregg spoke of Cpl. Michael Ouellette on Monday, the day Ouellette was being buried in the state veteran's cemetery. He called Ouellette an exceptional individual and thanked Ouellette's parents for having raised such an extraordinary child.

Ouellette, who was 28, died March 22 in the Helmand province in southern Afghanistan. He joined the Marines in 2005 and was deployed to Afghanistan in November after two deployments to Iraq.
