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.
[[Page S3038]]
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
