the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Madam Speaker, today I rise to highlight 
East Carolina University ROTC Detachment 600's 75th anniversary.
  As a former commandant of cadets at this remarkable detachment, it 
was a privilege to participate in this celebration to see former cadets 
who are successful with their careers.
  During the celebration, a true American hero, our most decorated 
graduate, retired General Gary North, shared a message that resonated 
deeply with everyone.
  He reminded us that our Air Force stands as the finest in the world 
today because of the unwavering service of those who came before us and 
the dedication of those who serve today. His charge to us was simple, 
but profound: Always remember your oath. This oath is our commitment to 
protecting our Constitution, our values, our great Nation, and our way 
of life. May God bless our Air Force and Detachment 600. Go Pirates. 
May God bless America.
