  Mr. HASTINGS of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. 
Bernard Gray, a senior at Glades Central High School in Belle Glade, 
Florida. Bernard is a fine young man, who has compiled a very good 
academic record at Glades Central, and will be graduating later this 
month. He has proudly chosen to enlist in the United States Army.
  I want to congratulate Bernard on his decision to serve his country. 
It is thanks to the dedication of fine individuals such as him, that we 
are able to meet here in the House of Representatives, and openly 
debate and legislate on the many issues facing our nation.
  Mr. Speaker, Bernard Gray is a selfless and courageous individual. I 
am certain that he will make us proud with his service. We owe him, as 
well as all the men and women in uniform an enormous debt of gratitude.
