               OHIO HIGH SCHOOL ARMED SERVICE ENLISTMENT

  Mr. PORTMAN. Mr. President, I wish to honor 374 high school seniors 
in eight northeast Ohio counties for their decision to enlist in the 
U.S. Armed Forces. Of these 374 seniors from 118 high schools in 98 
towns and cities, 86 will enter the Army, 98 will enter the Marine 
Corps, 55 will enter the Navy, 26 will enter the Air Force, 3 will 
enter the Coast Guard, 95 will enter our Ohio Army National Guard, and 
11 will enter the Ohio Air National Guard. In the presence of their 
parents/guardians, high school counselors, military leaders, and city 
and business leaders, all 374 will be recognized on May 10, 2017, at 
the Northeast Ohio Foundation for Patriotism ``Our Community Salutes'' 
event.
  In a few short weeks, these young men and women will join with many 
of their classmates in celebration of their high school graduation. At 
a time when many of their peers are looking forward to pursuing 
vocational training or college degrees or are uncertain about their 
future, these young men and women instead have chosen to dedicate 
themselves to military service in defense of our rights, our freedoms, 
and our country. They should know that they have the full support of 
this Senate Chamber and the American people, who are with them in 
whatever challenges may lie ahead.
  It is thanks to their dedication and the dedication of an untold 
number of patriots just like them that we are able to meet here today 
in the U.S. Senate and openly debate the best solutions to the problems 
that confront our country. It is thanks to their sacrifices that the 
United States of America remains a beacon of hope and freedom in a 
dangerous world. We are grateful to them, and we are grateful to their 
parents and their communities for instilling in them not only the 
mental and physical abilities our Armed Forces require, but also the 
character, the values, and the discipline that leads someone to put 
service to our Nation over self.
  I would like to personally thank these 374 graduating seniors for 
volunteering to risk their lives in defense of our Nation. We owe them, 
along with all those who serve our country, a deep debt of gratitude.
  I ask unanimous consent to have printed in the Record the names of 
the 374 high school seniors.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:
