                           SAVANNAH STAFFORD

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. STEVEN M. PALAZZO

                             of mississippi

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 21, 2015

  Mr. PALAZZO. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
recognize Ms. Savannah Stafford as a member of the United States Naval 
Academy Class of 2015.
  Savannah graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy with a degree in 
Oceanography, and her service assignment is Surface Warfare. She 
received a commission as an Ensign in the United States Navy on May 22, 
2015.
  Her career in the service has just begun, but it is a testament to 
Savannah's unselfish devotion to the people of this great nation. The 
challenges will be many and the time, although it may seem like an 
eternity, will fly by almost unnoticed.
  The challenge for this young woman will be to retain as much as 
possible, pass on what she learns to others, and live life for every 
moment.
  South Mississippi is proud of Savannah and her accomplishments, and 
we look forward to her continuing to represent not only Mississippi, 
but the entire nation, as a United States Navy officer.
  As Savannah embarks on a new chapter in life, it is my hope that she 
may always recall with a deep sense of pride and accomplishment 
graduating from a program as prestigious as the Naval Academy.

  I would like to send Savannah my best wishes for continued success in 
her future endeavors, thank her for her service, and congratulate her 
on this momentous occasion.
