                                  _____
                                 

                         HON. STEVEN M. PALAZZO

                             of mississippi

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 12, 2014

  Mr. PALAZZO. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
recognize Mr. Matthew A. Mayeaux as a member of the United States 
Military Academy Class of 2014.
  Matthew graduated from the U.S. Military Academy with a degree in 
Human Geography and he received a commission as a Second Lieutenant in 
the United States Army on May 28, 2014.
  His career in the service has just begun, but it is a testament to 
Matthew's unselfish devotion to the people of this great nation. The 
challenges will be many and the time, although it may seem like an 
eternity, will fly by almost unnoticed.
  The challenge for this young man will be to retain as much as 
possible, pass what he learns to others, and live life for every 
moment.
  South Mississippi is proud of Matthew and his accomplishments, and we 
look forward to his continuing to represent not only Mississippi, but 
the entire nation, as a United States Army officer.
  As Matthew embarks on a new chapter in life, it is my hope that he 
may always recall with a deep sense of pride and accomplishment 
graduating from a program as prestigious as the Military Academy.
  I would like to send Matthew my best wishes for continued success in 
his future endeavors, thank him for his service, and congratulate him 
on this momentous occasion.
