Congratulating John Epps

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. ALLEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate my constituent, John Epps, upon his acceptance to the United States Air Force Academy.

As a future cadet, he will be joining the ranks of the world's most fearsome fighting force, the United States Air Force.

Guided by the motto ``Aim High. . . . Fly-Fight-Win'' the U.S. Air Force is the world's preeminent force in air, space, and cyberspace.

Throughout our history, American Airmen have demonstrated tremendous courage and strength, beating back tyranny to the ends of the earth.

I was honored to sponsor John's nomination, and I am confident that his talents will distinguish him among his peers both during his time at Air Force Academy and thereafter.

I congratulate John. I know that he will make this Nation proud.
