                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 14, 2006

  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I salute our soldiers, 
marines, seamen, and airmen of tomorrow, the service-bound academy 
students of the Third District of Texas. This district of Texas is home 
to some of the best and the brightest young people. It is always a 
tremendous honor to recommend such fine students to our nation's 
service academies.
  Each year, thousands of students apply to these prestigious 
academies, but only the cream of the crop makes the cut. I am very 
proud of these future leaders. Their appointments truly are a testimony 
to their hard work, discipline and strong desire to serve our country.
  While they passed the rigors of the nomination and appointment 
process, the real test has just begun! In just weeks these fine 
students will report in to begin an intensive basic training program 
before they begin a tough, and gratifying, four-year education. They 
have such exciting futures ahead of them. I know they are ready to join 
the premier military force of the world. To the appointees I say, ``God 
bless you. God bless America. I salute you.''
  The appointees and their hometowns are as follows:

       UNITED STATES MILITARY ACADEMY: John Kottlowski--McKinney, 
     Texas--McKinney North High School, Preston Pham--Plano, 
     Texas--Plano Senior High School, Colin Skowronski--Plano, 
     Texas--Plano East Senior High School, Anil Tilbe--Plano, 
     Texas--Plano Senior High School.
       UNITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMY: Lindsay Atwood--Garland, 
     Texas--North Garland High School, Jacqueline Juhn--Plano, 
     Texas--Plano West Senior High School.
       UNITED STATES AIR FORCE ACADEMY: Ridge Flick--Plano, 
     Texas--Plano West Senior High School, Daniel Fulcoly--Plano,
