  Mr. GILLMOR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay special tribute to a 
truly outstanding young man from Ohio's Fifth Congressional District, 
Joseph L. Heyman. Joe has recently accepted his appointment to attend 
the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York.
  Joe, who is from Grand Rapids, Ohio, has distinguished himself as an 
outstanding student and a fine student-athlete while attending Ostego 
High School.
  During his career at Ostego High School, Joe excelled academically by 
achieving a perfect grade point average of 4.00, which ranks him first 
in his class of 132 students. In addition, Joe has been active in the 
National Honor Society and was named a National Merit Scholar 
Semifinalist.
  On the fields of competition, Joe has proven himself to be a talented 
and gifted student-athlete through his performances in both varsity 
football and varsity track. Joe has also been active in government and 
community service organizations. He has served on the Ostego High 
School Student Council, and is currently working on his Eagle Scout 
Award with the Boy Scouts of America.
  Mr. Speaker, I am confident that Joe will be very successful at West 
Point, and in all of his future endeavors. I would urge my colleagues 
to stand and join me in paying tribute to Joseph Heyman, and in wishing 
him all the best as he prepares for the United States Military Academy.
