                        Thursday, March 12, 2009

  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, it is with great pride and pleasure that I 
rise today to recognize Travis Rea Myers on the occasion of his 
approaching graduation from the United States Naval Academy on May 
22nd, 2009.
  Travis is the son of Rea and Myrna Myers and is a graduate of Blue 
Springs High School in Blue Springs, Missouri. In 2005, I was proud to 
nominate Travis to the Naval Academy. It was evident that Travis was 
among the best and brightest of his class, and that he was going to be 
successful in life, no matter which path he chose. He will graduate in 
May with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Aerospace Engineering. 
Following in the footsteps of his father Rea, Travis will be a second 
generation graduate from the Naval Academy.
  Travis has earned the gratitude and respect of his community of Blue 
Springs, Missouri. The Blue Springs Rotary Club even honored Travis by 
presenting him with his Officers Sabre at a meeting in his honor. His 
dedication and hard work should serve as an example to the rest of us 
on how we can better serve each other and our great nation.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join with me in commending 
Travis Myers for his dedication to his community and his country. I 
know Travis' family and friends join with me in congratulating him on 
his graduation and wishing him best of luck on all of his future 
endeavors.
