                         ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS

                                 ______
                                 

                        TRIBUTE TO WYATT ZYLAWY

 Mr. DAINES. Mr. President, I would like to honor Wyatt Zylawy, 
of Superior, MT, for his outstanding achievements in his recent Coast 
Guard training and for his noble commitment to serving our country.
  Wyatt is the youngest of three brothers who seem to do almost 
everything together--from playing the same sports, to playing in a band 
together, to eventually all joining the U.S. Coast Guard.
  Wyatt graduated from basic training on January 22, 2016, and won 3 
out of 7 awards that were given out amongst the other 57 members in his 
unit. He received recognition for his high levels of academic and 
athletic abilities. To make this ceremony even more special, one of 
Wyatt's brothers, Roman, Junior, presented Wyatt with his awards.
  Currently Wyatt is attending ``A'' School in Yorktown, VA, where he 
is training to be an electrician's mate and will graduate on July 1, 
2016. He has been named as the class leader and is responsible for 
overseeing his fellow officers' marching formations, ensuring their 
timeliness, and making sure they are keeping up with their physical 
training.
  His father, Roman Zylawy, describes Wyatt as always being a hard 
worker, highly motivated, and taking the initiative with his 
schoolwork, as well as any sports teams he played on. ``Whenever he set 
his mind on something, he did it and he did it well,'' Mr. Zylawy 
remarks. ``Wyatt has a high ability to excel and to consistently be on 
top of his game.''
  Wyatt hopes to be stationed somewhere in the Pacific Northwest after 
graduation so he will be close to home.
  Good luck in all your endeavors, Wyatt, and I thank you for your 
current and future service to our State and to our Nation. You are a 
true representation of the brave, honorable, and exceptional type of 
young person who is the future of our State and country, and to that 
end, I am immensely grateful.

                          ____________________
