RICK W. ALLEN of georgia in the house of representatives Tuesday, June 23, 2026 Mr. ALLEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate my constituent, Henry Sparks, upon his acceptance to the United States Naval Academy. As a future midshipman, he will be joining the ranks of the world's most elite naval force, guided by the motto: ``Semper Fortis.'' The service and sacrifice of America's military personnel have safeguarded our Nation since its inception, defending our way of life from Lexington to Normandy. Throughout our history, American servicemembers have demonstrated tremendous courage and strength, beating back tyranny to the ends of the earth. I was glad to sponsor Henry's nomination, and I am confident that his talents will distinguish him among his peers during his time at the Academy and thereafter. I congratulate Henry, and I know that he will make this Nation proud. ____________________
