            RECOGNIZING JOSEPH BROAM, GEORGIA NATIONAL GUARD

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Savannah, Georgia's Specialist Joseph Broam of the Georgia National 
Guard and a student at Armstrong State University.
  Specialist Broam was chosen to represent the entire Army National 
Guard at the U.S. Army Best Warrior Competition.
  I am incredibly proud of Specialist Broam's accomplishment and could 
not be more enthusiastic for his final competition, starting September 
26. To qualify for the championship competition, Specialist Broam 
completed and succeeded at the brigade, State, regional, and national 
levels. Each competition was extremely physically and mentally 
straining.
  During the national competition, participants ran more than 4 miles 
over rough terrain, completed a demanding obstacle course, and 
navigated land during day and night.
  I rise today to congratulate Specialist Joseph Broam for his 
accomplishment, and I wish him the best of luck on September 26.
