  CONGRATULATING CAPTAIN JOSEPH NIMMICH AND COAST GUARD GROUP KEY WEST

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, I am proud to congratulate Captain 
Joseph Nimmich and the rest of the men and women of the United States 
Coast Guard Group Key West for hosting a community outreach event on 
Trumbo Point in Key West. This event is sponsored by the Navy League 
Key West and the Key West Chamber of Commerce Military Affairs 
Committee.
  I am very proud to recognize this group, because the work that they 
do is truly amazing and selfless. In the average month, the men and 
women of the Coast Guard Group Key West provide the people of Florida 
with invaluable services. Saving lives, conducting search-and-rescue 
missions and providing marine exams and aids to navigation are everyday 
activities for these brave and selfless individuals.
  This is a particularly special event, because it also celebrates the 
Coast Guard's 212th anniversary with the Key West community.
  I ask my Congressional colleagues to join me in congratulating and 
commending Captain Nimmich and his colleagues on this special 
celebration.
