                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 24, 2017

  Mr. PALAZZO. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
recognize Mr. Christopher Trapani as a member of the United States 
Merchant Marine Academy Class of 2017.
  Christopher will graduate from the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy on 
June 17, 2017, with a Bachelor of Science 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 
Christopher'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 Christopher and his accomplishments. We 
look forward to him continuing to represent not only Mississippi, but 
the entire nation, as a United States Navy Reserve officer.
  As Christopher 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 Christopher my best wishes for continued success 
in his future endeavors, thank him for his service, and congratulate 
him on this momentous occasion.
