Madam Speaker, I am pleased to report that the Dawson County High School Junior ROTC recently earned ``gold star'' status. This honor places the Dawson County High School Junior ROTC in the top 10 percent of the Nation. This status is a reflection of each cadet's hard work and the investment of the parents, the instructors, and the community in the Junior ROTC program. As a member of the Air Force Reserve, I have great admiration for the young people involved in Junior ROTC in Georgia and throughout the United States. This important program instills the values of citizenship, service, and personal responsibility in the next generation of leaders. I anticipate great things from these young men and women in the future, and I wish the Dawson County High School Junior ROTC program continued success. ____________________
