  Mr. GILLMOR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay special tribute to an 
outstanding young man from Ohio's Fifth Congressional District. I am 
happy to announce that Zebulon G. Wedge, of Fostoria, Ohio, has been 
offered an appointment to attend the United States Air Force Academy in 
Colorado Springs, Colorado.
  Mr. Speaker, Zeb has accepted his offer of appointment and will be 
attending the Air Force Academy this fall with the incoming cadet class 
of 2003. Attending one of our nation's military academies is an 
invaluable experience that offers a world-class education and demands 
the very best that these young men and women have to offer. Truly, it 
is one of the most challenging and rewarding undertakings of their 
lives.
  Without question, Zeb brings a great deal of leadership and 
dedication to the incoming Air Force class of 2003. During his time at 
Fostoria High School, Zeb has achieved a high level of academic 
excellence. Currently, he has attained a grade point average of 3.75, 
which places him thirteenth in his class of 158 students. Academically, 
he was an honor roll member in each year of high school.
  In addition to his stellar performance in the classroom, Zeb has 
shown himself to be an excellent student-athlete. He has been a member 
of the Fostoria High School Varsity Wrestling Team and the Varsity 
Football Team. In addition, Zeb has been a member of the Spanish Club, 
Peer-Mediation, Youth-to-Youth, and served as the Vice President of the 
Freshman Student Council.
  Mr. Speaker, at this point, I would ask my colleagues to stand and 
join me in paying special tribute to Zebulon G. Wedge. Our service 
academies offer the finest education and military training available 
anywhere in the world. I am sure that Zeb will do very well during his 
career at the Air Force Academy, and I wish him the very best in all of 
his future endeavors.
