                                  _____
                                 

                         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. Evan Ladner as a member of the United States Naval 
Academy Class of 2014.
  Evan graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy with a degree in Economics 
and he received a commission as an Ensign in the United States Navy on 
May 23rd, 2014.
  His career in the service has just begun, but it is a testament to 
Evan'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 Evan and his accomplishments, and we 
look forward to his continuing to represent not only Mississippi, but 
the entire nation, as a United States Navy officer.
  As Evan 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 Naval Academy.
  I would like to send Evan my best wishes for continued success in his 
future endeavors, thank him for his service, and congratulate him on 
this momentous occasion.

                          ____________________
