                         Thursday, May 5, 2011

  Mr. ALEXANDER. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that I rise today 
to pay special tribute to an outstanding young man who was selected to 
attend the U.S. Air Force Academy. Lionel Wayne Magee III will follow 
in his parents' footsteps by serving our country in uniform.
  Magee, an 18-year-old senior at Seoul American High School on Yongsan 
Garrison, the Republic of Korea, is poised to attend the prestigious 
academy this fall. With him he brings an enormous amount of leadership 
and passion to the incoming class of cadets. While attending high 
school, Magee was committed to a range of extracurricular activities 
including varsity football, Taekwondo, National Honor Society, Boys 
State, Eagle Scout as well as numerous volunteer hours in support of 
the community.
  Attending one of our Nation's military academies is an invaluable 
experience that offers a first-rate education while providing those who 
undertake it some of the most challenging and rewarding opportunities 
of their lives.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Lionel 
Magee on his acceptance into the U.S. Air Force Academy and in 
extending their best wishes to him as he begins his service to our 
Nation.
