  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a 
remarkable Cadet COL Gregory Wilson, a senior at Murrah High School who 
is the Jackson Public School JROTC Cadet of the Year for 2015.
  While maintaining a 3.8 grade point average, Cadet Wilson has held 
several key leadership positions in the Battalion throughout his high 
school tenure. Cadet Wilson is a proud member of the National Honor 
Society and National Junior Classical League. He recently attended the 
American Legion Boys State where he was elected state treasurer.
  Cadet Wilson has also been actively involved in a variety of 
community service projects including Stewpot Summer Enrichment and Stop 
Hunger Now. Currently, he serves as the Cadet Battalion Commander for 
the ``Mustang'' Battalion.
  Cadet Wilson has been accepted to several colleges including the 
prestigious University of Mississippi Honors College. After graduating 
from Murrah with honors, Cadet Wilson will attend the University of 
Mississippi. He plans to attend medical school at an Army residency 
program. His vision is to become a pathologist for the United States 
Army.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Cadet COL 
Gregory Wilson.
