Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Savannah, Georgia's Specialist Joseph Broam of the Georgia National Guard and a student at Armstrong State University. Specialist Broam was chosen to represent the entire Army National Guard at the U.S. Army Best Warrior Competition. I am incredibly proud of Specialist Broam's accomplishment and could not be more enthusiastic for his final competition, starting September 26. To qualify for the championship competition, Specialist Broam completed and succeeded at the brigade, State, regional, and national levels. Each competition was extremely physically and mentally straining. During the national competition, participants ran more than 4 miles over rough terrain, completed a demanding obstacle course, and navigated land during day and night. I rise today to congratulate Specialist Joseph Broam for his accomplishment, and I wish him the best of luck on September 26. ____________________
