                  COMMENDING OHIO HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS

  Mr. PORTMAN. Mr. President, today I wish to honor 369 high school 
seniors in eight northeast Ohio counties for their commendable decision 
to enlist in the U.S. Armed Forces. Of these 369 seniors from 128 high 
schools in 87 towns and cities, 83 will enter the Army, 174 will enter 
the Marine Corps, 25 will enter the Navy, 30 will enter the Air Force, 
4 will enter the Coast Guard, and 53 will enter our Ohio Army National 
Guard. In the presence of their parents/guardians, and high school 
counselors, military leaders, city and business leaders, all 369 will 
be recognized on May 10, 2012 by ``Our Community Salutes of Northeast 
Ohio.''
  Later this month, these young men and women will join many of their 
classmates in celebration of their high school graduation. At a time 
when many of their peers are looking forward to pursuing vocational 
training or college degrees, or are uncertain about their future, these 
young men and women instead have chosen to dedicate themselves to 
military service in defense of our country.
  Naturally, many may be anxious about the uncertainties that may await 
them as members of the Armed Forces. But, they should rest assured that 
the full support and resources of this Chamber, and the American 
people, are with them in whatever challenges may lie ahead.
  It is thanks to the dedication of an untold number of patriots like 
these 369 that we are able to meet here today, in the U.S. Senate, and 
openly debate the best solutions to the many diverse problems that 
confront our country. It is thanks to their sacrifices that the United 
States of America remains a beacon of hope and freedom in a dangerous 
world. We are grateful to them, their parents and their communities for 
instilling the character, values, discipline and mental and physical 
abilities of these outstanding young men and women.

  I would like to personally thank these 369 graduating seniors for 
their selflessness and courage that they have shown by volunteering in 
defense of our Nation. We owe them, along with all those who serve our 
country, a deep debt of gratitude.
  Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to print the names of the 369 
high school seniors in the Congressional Record.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in
