  Mr. BILIRAKIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor the 
unique contributions of one of my constituents, Mr. Alan Wikett. Mr. 
Wikett is the founder of Warrior 321, an anti-human trafficking 
awareness group. According to those who have worked alongside him, Mr. 
Wikett's passion for prevention and assistance is unrivaled. Though he 
is supposed to be retired, he is constantly on the road educating 
different organizations and gathering new intel to help the 
organization better keep our community safe. He has spearheaded many 
successful initiatives to educate victims of human trafficking about 
the availability of services that can keep them safe and at-risk 
populations about how to avoid becoming a victim. Mr. Wikett has also 
spoken to countless civic organizations to help garner support and 
raise awareness about the dangers of human trafficking.
  It is clear that Mr. Wikett has made a profoundly positive impact on 
our community and on the lives of countless people he has worked with 
in the fight against the horrific crime of human trafficking. I am 
grateful for his service.
