Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Cadet Lieutenant Colonel Mikhail Karnaukh who was named as a recipient of the General Ira C. Eaker Award. This award is the second most prestigious honor in the Civil Air Patrol Cadet Program. Fewer than 1 percent of cadets are selected to receive it. Mr. Speaker, I have great respect for those in the Civil Air Patrol. Their selfless commitment to duty and country deserves the highest praise from their elected leaders. We congratulate Mikhail on this special accomplishment. He has earned it. I very much look forward to hearing more about his progress and accomplishments in the coming months and years. May God continue to bless him and his family. ____________________
