Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an outstanding young man from Rochester, New York, whose dedication, work ethic, and passion for maritime service have earned him admission to the United States Merchant Marine Academy: Ryan Galle. From an early age, Ryan developed a deep appreciation for maritime operations through his work with a local charter business along the historic Erie Canal. What began as an interest soon grew into a genuine passion, inspiring him to pursue a career in the maritime industry and seek opportunities that would challenge him both personally and professionally. Ryan is highly regarded by his teachers, mentors, and peers as a motivated student, dependable leader, and positive influence within his community. Whether in the classroom, in athletics, or in his work experience, he has consistently demonstrated maturity, initiative, and a strong sense of responsibility. Drawn to the Academy's rigorous academic and leadership development programs, Ryan looks forward to strengthening his character, refining his leadership abilities, and expanding his knowledge of the maritime profession. Mr. Speaker, I am confident that Ryan Galle will continue to make the Rochester community proud as he pursues his education and future career at the United States Merchant Marine Academy. I congratulate him on this remarkable achievement and extend my very best wishes for continued success in the years ahead. ____________________
