                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 13, 2010

  Mr. MILLER of Florida. Madam Speaker, it is with great pleasure I 
rise to recognize the 50th anniversary of the Shooters of Training 
Squadron SIX. Through times of war and through times of peace, Training 
Squadron SIX has served our country with great distinction and valor. 
For that reason, I am proud to recognize the Shooters of Training 
Squadron SIX for their exceptional training and excellent performance 
over the last 50 years.
  Training Squadron SIX has picked up the torch lit by their 
predecessors on May 1, 1960, and continued the legacy of producing the 
best combat aviators the world has ever seen. On that day, Training 
Squadron SIX was commissioned with the task of providing primary flight 
training to a younger generation of student naval aviators. Since being 
commissioned, more than 15,000 students have been trained and in excess 
of 1.1 million flight hours performed.
  Madam Speaker, on behalf of the United States Congress, I am 
privileged to recognize Training Squadron SIX for going above and 
beyond the call of duty on their 50th anniversary. To this day, 
Training Squadron SIX continues to provide the highest quality training 
to student aviators from the Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and 
several Allied Forces.
