  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 Jeremy L. Haas of Sandusky, Ohio, has been 
offered an appointment to attend the United States Air Force Academy in 
Colorado Springs, Colorado.
  Mr. Speaker, Jeremy's offer of appointment poises him to attend the 
United States Air Force Academy this fall with the incoming cadet class 
of 2004. Attending one of our nations' 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.
  Jeremy brings a great deal of leadership, service, and dedication to 
the incoming class at the Air Force Academy. While attending Sandusky 
High School, Jeremy has performed very well in the classroom. Jeremy 
has attained a grade point average of 3.775, which places him 
eighteenth in his class of three hundred six students. Jeremy is a 
member of the National Honor Society. In addition, Jeremy has received 
Scholar Athlete Awards in Football and Track in each year of his high 
school career.
  On the fields of competition, Jeremy has distinguished himself as a 
fine student-athlete. He is a member of the Varsity Football team and 
has participated in the summer running and weightlifting programs. 
Jeremy is also a member of the Varsity Track team. In addition, Jeremy 
has been involved with the International Club and the Sandusky High 
School band. He has also served as a volunteer at the Sandusky 
Community Police Station.
  Mr. Speaker, I would ask my colleagues to stand and join me in paying 
special tribute to Jeremy L. Haas. Our service academies offer the 
finest education and military training available anywhere in the world. 
I am sure that Jeremy will do very well at the Air Force Academy and I 
wish him the very best in all of his future endeavors.
