                         HON. STEVEN M. PALAZZO

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 7, 2016

  Mr. PALAZZO. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
recognize Mr. Clint Sawyer as a member of the United States Merchant 
Marine Academy Class of 2016.
  Clint will graduate from the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy on June 18, 
2016, and he will be commissioned as an Ensign in the United States 
Navy Reserve.
  His career in the service has just begun, but it is a testament to 
Clint'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.
  South Mississippi is proud of Clint and his accomplishments, and we 
look forward to him continuing to represent not only Mississippi, but 
the entire nation, as a United States Navy Reserve officer.
  As Clint embarks on a new chapter in life, it is my hope that he may 
always recall with a deep sense of pride and accomplishment graduating 
from a program as prestigious as the Merchant Marine Academy.
  I would like to send Clint my best wishes for continued success in 
his future endeavors, thank him for his service, and congratulate him 
on this momentous occasion.
