Mr. EZELL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize two exceptional members of the United States Coast Guard from Port Security Unit 308 in Gulfport, Mississippi. Boatswain's Mate First Class Bradley Walker has been awarded the Commander Ray Evans Outstanding Coxswain Trophy, one of the highest honors given to a Coast Guard boat operator. His leadership, skill, and commitment to mission excellence represent the very best in service. Alongside him, Machinery Technician First Class James Lang has earned the Fireman First Class Paul Clark Outstanding Engineer Award, a national recognition of his outstanding technical expertise and dedication to keeping his unit mission-ready. These two Mississippians embody the core values of the Coast Guard: honor, respect, and devotion to duty. I am incredibly proud to represent them and PSU 308 in Congress. Their service makes our Nation stronger and our Gulf Coast proud. Madam Speaker, I congratulate and thank BM1 Walker and MK1 Lang for their service. [[Page H1925]] ____________________
