                                  _____
                                 

                         HON. STEVEN M. PALAZZO

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 12, 2014

  Mr. PALAZZO. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
recognize Ms. Gabrielle Marie Aranda as a member of the United States 
Air Force Academy Class of 2014.
  Gabby graduated from the U.S. Air Force Academy with a degree in 
Business Management and a minor in Spanish, and she received a 
commission as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Air Force on May 
27, 2014.
  Her career in the service has just begun, but it is a testament to 
Gabby'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 woman will be to retain as much as 
possible, pass what she learns to others, and live life for every 
moment.
  South Mississippi is proud of Gabby and her accomplishments, and we 
look forward to her continuing to represent not only Mississippi, but 
the entire nation, as a United States Air Force officer.
  As Gabby embarks on a new chapter in life, it is my hope that she may 
always recall with a deep sense of pride and accomplishment graduating 
from a program as prestigious as the Air Force Academy.
  I would like to send Gabby my best wishes for continued success in 
her future endeavors, thank her for her service, and congratulate her 
on this momentous occasion.
