                            HON. SAM GRAVES

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, November 4, 2009

  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Tyler Titus, 
a very special young man who has earned a spot on the National USA 
Karate Team. I join with Tyler's family and friends in expressing best 
wishes on his significant achievement. I commend Tyler on attaining 
such a high honor and wish him the best of luck as he competes in the 
World Karate Championships in Dublin, Ireland, this October.
  Gaining recognition for this remarkable achievement reflects both 
Tyler's hard work and dedication. As a member of the stand-alone 
Missouri team, as well as the team with the largest number of students 
to be selected from a single school, Tyler should be proud of his 
accomplishments. He is a member of a celebrated team and has 
represented the state of Missouri well. With such drive and 
determination I am certain Tyler will be a strong contribution to the 
national team.
  Madam Speaker, I respectfully request you join with me in commending 
Tyler Titus for his success with Sensei Mark Long's Shotokan Karate 
team and for his effort put forth in achieving this prestigious goal.
