Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and to express my gratitude to the young men and women who are answering the call to serve in our military upon graduation from high school this year. Throughout New York's 22nd Congressional District, countless men and women are serving our country. We are thankful to those who will now join them in the armed services. They have taken upon themselves a duty and a responsibility far greater than themselves. General MacArthur famously said: ``Duty, honor, country: those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, and what you will be.'' We as a community and as a country are thankful for their dedication and service. We wish them tremendous success in their service to our great Nation. I also wish to acknowledge specifically the Conklin Kiwanis Club's ``First to Say Thank You'' program that was held to honor the men and women of the Southern Tier who are joining the military service. From the 22nd District, there are 35 individuals who are being recognized, and their names will be permanently commemorated in the official Congressional Record. I congratulate them and thank them. ____________________
