         RECOGNIZING OZARK HIGH SCHOOL JUNIOR ROTC DRILL TEAMS

                                  _____
                                 

                            HON. BILLY LONG

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 30, 2014

  Mr. LONG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Ozark High 
School Junior ROTC Drill Teams for being named national champions at 
the 2014 U.S. Army JROTC National Drill Championships.
  Ozark High School represents the 3rd Brigade of the Army Cadet 
Command, which is comprised of teams from 10 states. The 3rd Brigade 
consists of 119 Army JROTC programs, and Ozark was one of just six 
honored to compete in the 2014 National Drill Championship.
  The Ozark Unarmed Team placed first overall in their division with a 
total score of 3,833 points. The Ozark Armed Team placed second overall 
with a score of 3,690 points. The Ozark Rifle Team won their third 
consecutive National Championship.
  Of the 1700 plus schools that have JROTC, there is only one school, 
one city and one state that can claim two National Championship teams 
in the same year.
  I would also like to take this opportunity to say thank you to the 
instructors of the JROTC program and the family members of the students 
who support them.
  I am honored to recognize the Ozark High School JROTC for their 
National Champi onships this year and wish them continued success in 
the future.
