           TRIBUTE TO MARINE CORPS JUNIOR ROTC IN LISBON, OH

                                 ______


                      HON. JAMES A. TRAFICANT, JR.

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 22, 1994

  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the Marine 
Corps Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps [ROTC] at Beaver Local 
High School in Lisbon, OH, of my 17th Congressional District of Ohio. I 
want to recognize the JROTC for their service to the Lisbon community 
at large and for the duties they have performed in past years in 
Columbiana County.
  This past Memorial Day, the Moving Wall tribute to our heroes from 
the Vietnam war came to Columbiana County, and the cadets represented 
the American Legion Post 736. Many in attendance at Memorial Day parade 
felt that the students performed just as well as the active duty 
military personnel. Yet, the cadets of the JROTC do more than march in 
parades. Under the direction of 1st. Sgt. S.S. Boorse III and M. Sgt. 
Robert Mack, the cadets at Beaver Local High School have many important 
duties that they perform with skill and honor.
  Aside from their duties representing American Legion 736, the cadets 
are responsible for all flags in the Beaver local school district. The 
cadets are responsible for pregame activities in conjunction with the 
Beaver local high school band. As I noted before, the proud young men 
and women of the JROTC perform in all local parades and ceremonies. I 
know I speak for my entire district when I commend these fine young 
Americans for the poise and precision while performing at these events.
  Mr. Speaker, being in the JROTC is also about community service. I am 
proud to say these fine students also actively participate in the Toys 
for Tots program. In the past few years, the cadets have collected over 
9,000 toys for underprivileged children. Recently, they were awarded a 
letter of appreciation from the commanding general of the 4th Marine 
Division. The cadets also collect food stuffs for needy families in my 
district with the Salvation Army. And finally, the cadets conducted the 
Marine Corp Ball ceremonies for the Marine Corps League and conducted 
the annual Marine Corps Ball for parents of cadets and the general 
public.
  Mr. Speaker, I could go on about the high caliber of these students, 
and how their leadership in the school community sets them apart as 
role models to other students and youngsters, but I know I don't need 
to remind the students or their proud parents of these facts. I would 
like to enter the names of the following cadets who have participated 
in all Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps activities and thank them 
for all the hard work they have done for the community: Rebecca 
Allison, Dusty Anderson, Bessie Arter, Melanie Bailey, Melissa Bailey, 
Loretta Banicki, Robert Beabout, Robyn Beabout, Jason Beaver, Melissa 
Boorse, Richard Cable, Nicole Campbell, Aaron Colkett, Randy Culler, 
Randy Doughty, Scott Doughty, Michael Giambroni, Jack Giratico, Jessica 
Goins, Michelle Hoon, Josh Hunt, Heather Kerns, Genine Knapkiewicz, 
Christopher Lake, Denver Mays, Josh Morris, David Moore, Fred Moore, 
Robert Moore, Rebecca Nicholson, Peggy Nolder, Stacy Rhodes, Jarrod 
Richter, Jeremy Rizer, Jason Rizer, Alexis Rogers, Jarrod Rogers, 
Kellie, Salmons, Daniel Shafer, Ian Wade, Mary Williams, Judy Wynn.
