RECOGNIZING BM1 BRADLEY WALKER AND MK1 JAMES LANG
(Mr. EZELL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. EZELL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize two exceptional
members of the United States Coast Guard from Port Security Unit 308 in
Gulfport, Mississippi.
Boatswain's Mate First Class Bradley Walker has been awarded the
Commander Ray Evans Outstanding Coxswain Trophy, one of the highest
honors given to a Coast Guard boat operator. His leadership, skill, and
commitment to mission excellence represent the very best in service.
Alongside him, Machinery Technician First Class James Lang has earned
the Fireman First Class Paul Clark Outstanding Engineer Award, a
national recognition of his outstanding technical expertise and
dedication to keeping his unit mission-ready.
These two Mississippians embody the core values of the Coast Guard:
honor, respect, and devotion to duty. I am incredibly proud to
represent them and PSU 308 in Congress. Their service makes our Nation
stronger and our Gulf Coast proud.
Madam Speaker, I congratulate and thank BM1 Walker and MK1 Lang for
their service.
