  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, it is a tremendous honor to 
salute our soldiers of tomorrow--the service academy bound students of 
the Third District of the Texas. This district of Texas is home to some 
of the best and the brightest young people.
  I'm truly confident that they are ready to join the premier military 
force of the world. It is a privilege to send such fine young people on 
to our Nation's prestigious service academies.
  We lift them and their families up in prayer for their future service 
and sacrifices. I am so very proud of them.
  God bless them and God bless America. I salute them.
