                   FUTURE MEMBERS OF THE ARMED FORCES

 Mr. PORTMAN. Madam President, I wish to honor 591 high school 
seniors in 12 northeast Ohio counties for their decision to enlist in 
the U.S. Armed Forces. Of these 591 seniors, 163 will enter the Army, 
134 will enter the Marine Corps, 107 will enter the Navy, 19 will enter 
the Air Force, 7 will enter the Coast Guard, 153 will enter our Ohio 
Army National Guard, and 8 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 591 will be 
recognized on May 9, 2018, 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 
futures, these young men 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 full support of this 
Senate Chamber and the American people who are with them in whatever 
challenges may lie ahead.
  These 591 young men and women are the cornerstone of our liberties. 
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 many diverse 
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 591 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 to have printed in the Record the names of the 591 high school 
seniors.
