  Mr. GILLMOR. Mr. Speaker, today I pay special tribute to an 
outstanding young man from Ohio's Fifth Congressional District. I am 
happy to announce that Timothy S. Brodman of Republic, Ohio, has been 
offered an appointment to attend the United States Air Force Academy in 
Colorado Springs, Colorado.
  Mr. Speaker, Tim has accepted his offer of appointment and will be 
attending the United States Air Force Academy this fall with the 
incoming cadet class of 2004. 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.
  Tim brings a great deal of leadership and dedication to the incoming 
class of Air Force cadets. While attending Tiffin Calvert High School, 
Tim has attained a grade point average of 3.6, which currently places 
him twenty-second in his class of seventy-five students. Tim is a 
member of the National Honor Society, the Honor Roll, and has received 
Academic Letters in each year of high school.
  Outside the classroom, Tim has excelled as a fine student-athlete. On 
the fields of competition, Tim has earned letters in varsity football, 
basketball, and baseball. Tim was named captain of the football and 
basketball teams this year. Tim has also been active in the Tiffin 
Calvert Spanish Club, Students Against Dangerous Decisions, and as a 
member of St. Joseph Catholic Church.
  Mr. Speaker, I would ask my colleagues to stand and join me in paying 
special tribute to Timothy S. Brodman. Our service academies offer the 
finest education and military training available anywhere in the world. 
I am sure that Tim 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.
