                     OUR COMMUNITY SALUTES CEREMONY

  (Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I rise to proudly recognize 
the class of 2025 enlistees of our armed services who participated in 
the Our Community Salutes ceremony at Elizabeth City State University.
  It was a true privilege to meet 27 talented young men and women from 
northeastern North Carolina and Virginia, all of whom have made the 
commendable decision to serve our Nation.
  Our Community Salutes deserves praise for including northeastern 
North Carolina in their national graduation season tour, and I commend 
Dr. Ken Hartman for founding this exceptional program.

  I extend special thanks to Ryan Bauman for expertly organizing this 
event, Lieutenant Commander Charles Michael Wise for prayer, and Rear 
Admiral John Vann of the United States Coast Guard for his motivating 
words.
  It was an honor to present each enlistee with a copy of the United 
States Constitution, an important document they have sworn to uphold.
