                   SALUTING OUR SOLDIERS OF TOMORROW

  (Mr. Self of Texas was recognized to address the House for 5 
minutes.)
  Mr. SELF. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to salute our soldiers of 
tomorrow, the service-bound academy students of the Third Congressional 
District of Texas.
  This district of Texas is home to some of the best and brightest 
young people, and it is always an honor to recommend such fine students 
to our Nation's service academies.
  I am confident that they are ready to join the premier service 
academies and ultimately serve with the best in the United States 
military.
  This year, Texas' Third District is going to send nine cadets to the 
United States Military Academy, six midshipmen to the United States 
Naval Academy, eight cadets to the U.S. Air Force Academy, one 
midshipman to the United States Merchant Marine Academy, one candidate 
to the United States Military Academy Civil Preparatory School, three 
candidates to the Naval Academy Preparatory School, one candidate to 
the United States Naval Academy Civil Preparatory School, and three 
candidates to the United States Air Force Academy Preparatory School.
  Mr. Speaker, to these 24 appointees and 8 preparatory candidates, I 
say God bless them and God bless America. I salute them.
  Mr. Speaker, I include in the Record the names of the 32 academy 
students and their respective hometowns.
