                        Tuesday, April 28, 2015

  Mr. MURPHY of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor 22 high 
school seniors from the Treasure Coast and Palm Beaches of Florida for 
their admirable decision to enlist in the United States Armed Forces 
following their graduation this year. Of these 22 enlistees, three are 
Air Force enlistees, four are Army enlistees, three are National Guard 
enlistees, eight are Marine Corps enlistees, and four are Navy 
enlistees. These young men and women have demonstrated a tremendous 
sense of bravery and patriotism in their commitment to defend our 
nation. Therefore, it is important that they know they have the full 
support of the United States House of Representatives, the American 
people, and their communities. The dedication of these individuals 
reminds us that in the face of a diverse set of challenges, the United 
States remains an example of freedom, justice, and perseverance 
throughout the world.
  The service of these young men and women must not go unrecognized, 
and so I want to personally thank these 22 local graduating seniors for 
their commitment to our nation and their selflessness by naming them 
here today: Ricky De Los Rios, Andrew Hendrix, Justice Cooper, Bradley 
Monk, Carlton Morgan, Thomas Sebastyn, Jr., Nicholas Gunther, Cameron 
Manochi, Adrian Coomes, Nicole Harrison, Daniel Gonzalez, Jose Rivera, 
Blake Ashworth, Mikelli Dorcius, Marcelo Aguirre, Justin Lalonde, 
Joseph Venuti, Michael Garrity, Blake Boyle, Breanna Reinhardt, Dylan 
Samons-Knight, and Husani Sylvester.
  All will be recognized on May 4, 2015 at the Our Community Salutes 
event in West Palm Beach.
  Mr. Speaker, we owe a debt of gratitude to each and every one of them 
and to all who commit to defend our great nation by serving in the 
United States Armed Forces. That spirit of service and sacrifice is 
something we can all be proud of. For this reason, it is my honor to 
recognize these young leaders here today.
