                                 ______


                        HON. FRANK PALLONE, JR.

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 16, 1996

  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker on Friday, May 31, 1996, at the Waterview 
Pavilion in Belmar, NJ, the Neptune High School Naval Junior Reserve 
Officer Training Corps unit will hold its Military Ball and Awards 
Ceremony.
  It is with great honor that I pay tribute, on this day, to the 
Neptune High School Naval JROTC unit. Existing since 1977, this 4-year 
program is designed to teach high school students leadership and 
citizenship. To achieve this, the program stresses self-discipline, 
patriotism, and high self-esteem. All of this is practiced within the 
organization and administrative structure of the U.S. Navy.
  The Neptune High School JROTC boasts a membership of 103 members with 
47 of its members recently completing a 3-day mini-boot camp training 
weekend at Fort Dix, NJ. On November 20, 1995, the unit successfully 
completed their 1005-96 Navy area manager inspection with an overall 
grade of outstanding. I would like to take this opportunity to applaud 
these outstanding young men and women for their commitment and 
allegiance to the JROTC and also for their overall outstanding grade.
  Mr. Speaker, this ceremony is an important event, not just for the 
proud members of the JROTC but for all of us. It should remind us all 
of the importance of citizenship and patriotism and what it means to be 
an American.
