Congratulating Lila Jun

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. ALLEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate my constituent, Lila Jun, upon her acceptance to the United States Military Academy at West Point.

As a future cadet, she will be joining the ranks of the world's most fearsome fighting force--the United States Army--guided by duty, honor, and country.

The service and sacrifice of America's military personnel have safeguarded our Nation since its inception, defending our way of life from Lexington to Normandy.

And throughout our history, American soldiers have demonstrated tremendous courage and strength, beating back tyranny to the ends of the Earth.

I was glad to sponsor Lila's nomination, and I am confident that her talents will distinguish her among her peers both during her time at West Point and thereafter.

I congratulate Lila and I know that she will make this Nation proud.
