                         HON. STEVEN M. PALAZZO

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 15, 2017

  Mr. PALAZZO. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
recognize Mr. Steven Bakotic as a member of the United States Naval 
Academy Class of 2017.
  Steven graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy with a Bachelor of 
Science and he was commissioned as an Ensign in the United States Navy 
on May 26, 2017.
  His career in the service has just begun, but it is a testament to 
Steven'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 Steven and his accomplishments, and we 
look forward to him continuing to represent not only Mississippi, but 
the entire nation, as a United States Navy officer.
  As Steven 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 Naval Academy.
  I would like to send Steven my best wishes for continued success in 
his future endeavors, thank him for his service, and congratulate him 
on this momentous occasion.
