OHIO HIGH SCHOOL ARMED SERVICE ENLISTMENT
Mr. PORTMAN. Mr. President, I wish to honor 374 high school seniors
in eight northeast Ohio counties for their decision to enlist in the
U.S. Armed Forces. Of these 374 seniors from 118 high schools in 98
towns and cities, 86 will enter the Army, 98 will enter the Marine
Corps, 55 will enter the Navy, 26 will enter the Air Force, 3 will
enter the Coast Guard, 95 will enter our Ohio Army National Guard, and
11 will enter the Ohio Air National Guard. In the presence of their
parents/guardians, high school counselors, military leaders, and city
and business leaders, all 374 will be recognized on May 10, 2017, at
the Northeast Ohio Foundation for Patriotism ``Our Community Salutes''
event.
In a few short weeks, these young men and women will join with many
of their classmates in celebration of their high school graduation. At
a time when many of their peers are looking forward to pursuing
vocational training or college degrees or are uncertain about their
future, these young men
[[Page S2610]]
and women instead have chosen to dedicate themselves to military
service in defense of our rights, our freedoms, and our country. They
should know that they have the full support of this Senate Chamber and
the American people, who are with them in whatever challenges may lie
ahead.
It is thanks to their dedication and the dedication of an untold
number of patriots just like them that we are able to meet here today
in the U.S. Senate and openly debate the best solutions to the problems
that confront our country. It is thanks to their sacrifices that the
United States of America remains a beacon of hope and freedom in a
dangerous world. We are grateful to them, and we are grateful to their
parents and their communities for instilling in them not only the
mental and physical abilities our Armed Forces require, but also the
character, the values, and the discipline that leads someone to put
service to our Nation over self.
I would like to personally thank these 374 graduating seniors for
volunteering to risk their lives in defense of our Nation. We owe them,
along with all those who serve our country, a deep debt of gratitude.
I ask unanimous consent to have printed in the Record the names of
the 374 high school seniors.
There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in
the Record, as follows:
