Today, I rise to recognize three very impressive Norwalk High School students and their recent achievements. I congratulate Sam Raymond, Carson Guzman, and Ryan Peters for receiving the National Speech and Debate Association's 2022-2023 Speaking and Service Award. Every year the National Speech and Debate Association recognizes students who go above and beyond in their service to their teams, schools, and communities with the Speaking and Debate Service Award. From more than 140,000 members, fewer than 140 students receive this recognition and reached the maximum number of service points in the student honor society. These three individuals earned distinction through their impressive record for speech and debate competition, as well as community service, public speaking, and leadership activities. Mr. Speaker, once again, I congratulate Sam Raymond, Carson Guzman, and Ryan Peters for their award. Recognizing Zach Graham, the 2023 Pat Tillman Scholar
