 RECOGNIZING THE CLASS OF 2022 GRADUATES OF THE UNITED STATES MILITARY 
                                ACADEMY

 Mr. PETERS. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize the class 
of 2022 graduates from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and the 
23 exemplary graduates from the State of Michigan.
  From plebes to firsties, and now second lieutenants in the U.S. Army, 
the class of 2022 has come through one of the most challenging and 
rewarding experiences of their lives to join ``The Long Gray Line.'' 
The class motto, ``For Many, Stand the Few,'' reflects the class of 
2022's commitment and moral, mental, and physical strength necessary to 
graduate from West Point and serve as commissioned officers in the U.S. 
Army. I commend the graduates for their dedication to support and 
defend the American Constitution and uphold the ethical standards of 
the Army and United States of America.
  I am honored to ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating, from 
Michigan, Kathryn LeWalk, Spencer Alexander, Cedrick Everaert, Nicholas 
Listermann, Sarah Guzzo, Teddy Prichard, Matthew Rushing, Alexander 
Denha, Ryan McAuliffe, Taylor Hayes Ufford, Samantha Fusik, Carter 
Macias, Megan E. Hutter, Nicholas McDonald, Grace Martin, Richard 
Russel III, Benjamin Pyle, Cole Chappell, Mirriam Tolston, Emily Leahy, 
Samantha Chinn, Michael Byrne, and Anamika Shresth. While their service 
to our Nation has just begun, I am confident these new officers will 
embody the values of ``Duty, Honor, Country.''
