  Mr. BUCK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize this year's Military 
Appointees from Colorado's Fourth Congressional district. America's 
brave men and women in uniform have always been our nation's greatest 
asset. These individuals make an incredible sacrifice for our country 
and they deserve our utmost support for their service. It is with great 
pleasure that I endorse the following individuals to attend some of our 
nation's most prestigious institutions.
  To the United States Air Force Academy, I nominate Jack Beebe, Kelly 
Grier, Rebecca Kholos, and Andrew Voydat.
  To the United States Merchant Marine Academy, I nominate Micah 
Grissom and Kyleigh Kappas.
  To the United States Military Academy, I nominate Angus Pfister-
Paradice and Levi Walters.
  To the United States Naval Academy, I nominate Andriann Oakley.
  Our nation owes no greater debt of gratitude than to those who fight 
to protect our freedom and liberty. They, and their families, should be 
commended. On behalf of the 4th Congressional District of Colorado, I 
extend my best wishes to these individuals.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to recognize these appointees for their 
commitment to protect and serve our nation.
