  Ms. WEXTON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 27 high 
school seniors from Virginia's 10th Congressional District who plan to 
enlist in the United States Air Force after graduation. These students 
have excelled over the course of their high school careers and I 
congratulate them on their graduation and their future plans.
   I commend these student leaders for their courageous decision to 
pursue a path to serve their country as a member of the United States 
Air Force. I rise to recognize the following students: Dewan Abdullah, 
Ishmael Bobbitt, Mia Broady, Ivanna Jenkins, Michael Jones, Alexine 
Koiwood, Kirsten Ladestron, Stefanie Marroquin, Jeremy Michaels, Kendal 
Riley, Kamaryn Sablan, Adam Sibal, Ian Allison, Shawn Bourne, Daniel 
Castano, Nicholaus Featherston, Douglas Flenniken, Benjamin Hayams, 
Guillermo Lozano, Jayden Nowicki, Tim Rickard, Elijah Robinson, Sean 
Stewart, Amanda Vacher, John Zuniga-Castaneda, Corbin Tucker, and 
Dallas Tucker.
   The students were recognized at a ceremony conducted in Sterling, 
Virginia on May 16, 2019, by the Northern Virginia chapter of Our 
Community Salutes and the Blue Star Mothers of Northern Virginia.
   Madam Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me in recognizing and 
applauding these students and their families on their pursuits and wish 
them the best as they set forth to begin the process of learning to 
defend our great nation and remember that we owe those who serve a debt 
of gratitude.
