 HONORING JOSHUA RIVERA, UNITED STATES AIR FORCE ACADEMY 2022 GRADUATE

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. STEVEN M. PALAZZO

                             of mississippi

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 13, 2022

  Mr. PALAZZO. Madam Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
recognize Mr. Joshua Rivera as a member of the United States Air Force 
Academy Class of 2022.
  Rivera graduated from the U.S. Air Force Academy on Friday, June 17, 
2022, and was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the United States 
Air Force.
  His career in the service has just begun, but it is a testament to 
Rivera'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 Rivera and his accomplishments, and we 
look forward to him continuing to represent not only Mississippi, but 
the entire Nation, as a United States Air Force Officer.
  As Second Lieutenant Rivera 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 Air 
Force Academy.
  I would like to send Rivera my best wishes for continued success in 
his future endeavors, thank him for his service, and congratulate him 
on this momentous occasion.
  Semper Fidelis.
