                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. RICK W. ALLEN

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 3, 2026

  Mr. ALLEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate my constituent, 
Robby Saballa, upon his acceptance to the United States Merchant Marine 
Academy.
  As a future midshipman, he will be joining the ranks of the world's 
most elite naval force, guided by the motto: ``Acta Non Verba.''
  The service and sacrifice of America's military personnel have 
safeguarded our Nation since its inception, defending our way of life 
from Lexington to Normandy.
  A vital part of our Nation's maritime operations, the Merchant 
Marines' duties are dynamic, transporting cargo and passengers during 
peacetime and serving as an auxiliary to the United States Navy during 
times of war.
  I was glad to sponsor Robby's nomination, as his dynamism reflects 
the mission of the branch which he will soon serve. I am confident that 
his talents will distinguish him among his peers during his time at the 
Academy and thereafter.
  I congratulate Robby, and I know that he will make this Nation proud.

                          ____________________
