         WHEREAS, Now in its fifth year, the program serves 167

  is required of BJMC cadets, and the lessons taught by the program
  are intended to benefit them in all walks of life; and
         WHEREAS, The Bedichek Junior Marine Corps program helps young
  people develop a wide range of important skills and values, and it
