  Ms. WEXTON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 16 high 
school seniors from Virginia's 10th Congressional District who plan to 
enlist in the United States Marine Corps 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 
Marine Corps. I rise to recognize the following students: Parsa 
Bakhshandeh, Shamar Britton, Jessica Dally, Jamaal Ellsworth, Andre 
France, Dylan Gilfedder, Aiden Hall, Jason Hernandez, Riley Klug, Peter 
Komara, Jessica Molnar, Christopher Nesseltree, Erick Orellana 
Hernandez, Matthew Rivera, Olga Romanenko, and Kyle Winn.
   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.
