  Mr. GILLMOR. Mr. Speaker, it is my great pleasure to pay special 
tribute to an outstanding young woman from Ohio's Fifth Congressional 
District. I am happy to announce that Mary B. Guzowski of Tiffin, Ohio 
has been offered an appointment to attend the United States Air Force 
Academy at Colorado Springs, Colorado.
  Mary's offer of appointment poises her to attend the United States 
Air Force Academy this fall with the incoming cadet class of 2009. 
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 women and men have to offer. Truly, it is one of 
the most challenging and rewarding undertakings of their lives.
  Mary brings an enormous amount of leadership, service, and dedication 
to the incoming class of Air Force cadets. While attending Tiffin 
Columbian High School in Tiffin, Ohio, Mary has attained a grade point 
average of 3.72, which places her in the top ten percent of her class 
of over two hundred students. While a gifted athlete, Mary has 
maintained the highest standards of excellence in her academics, 
choosing to enroll and excel in Advanced Placement classes throughout 
high school. Mary has been a member of the National Honor Society, 
Honor Roll, the Marching Band, the Symphonic Band and has earned awards 
and accolades as a scholar and an athlete.
  Outside the classroom, Mary has distinguished herself as an excellent 
student-athlete by earning letters in both Varsity Soccer and Swimming. 
She has also remained involved in her community by coaching elementary 
soccer, serving as a church lector and assisting her peers as a Teen 
Advisory Board Member. Mary's dedication and service to the community 
and her peers has proven her ability to

excel among the leaders at the United States Air Force Academy. I have 
no doubt that Mary will take the lessons of her student leadership with 
her to the United States Air Force Academy.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Mary B. 
Guzowski on her appointment to the United States Air Force Academy at 
Colorado Springs. Our service academies offer the finest military 
training and education available anywhere in the world. I am sure that 
Mary will do very well during her career at the United States Air Force 
Academy. I ask my colleagues to join me in wishing her well as she 
begins her service to the Nation.
