  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Madam Speaker, it is a tremendous honor to 
salute our soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen 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 these young leaders 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. The appointees and their 
schools follow.
