  Mr. GRAVES of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
Gordon Central High School Blue Wave Marching Band on being selected to 
perform in the 2016 National Memorial Day Parade.
  The Blue Wave Marching Band was established in 1985 and has a long 
tradition of superior performances which have taken them all across our 
great country.
  This year the Blue Wave Band will be marching in honor of Lance 
Corporal Cody Kristopher Warren, a saxophone player and drum major for 
the Blue Wave Band who joined the Marines upon graduation.
  In 2006, Cody made the ultimate sacrifice for his country while 
serving in Iraq.
  I am proud and excited that the Blue Wave Marching Band is performing 
in his honor in this year's National Memorial Day Parade.
  I wish them the best of luck as they bring a piece of Georgia to our 
nation's capital.
