United States and abroad are doing their duty faithfully and serving

is a part of a long tradition of military excellence. Due to the 
Marine's constant vigilance, the borders and freedoms of the United

service and respect for traditions make him the pride of his community 
and a model American.
  I extend my sincere congratulations to Lance Corporal Ryan S. Miller 
for receiving a Certificate of Appreciation. His contributions and 
service are a shining example to us all, and I am honored to be his 
representative in Washington.
